I think that you want to follow these instructions [1] so that you can 
log in via ssh without password prompt.  It looks like you might have 
done some of this already.  Let me know if this doesn't solve your

To be or not to be, that is the question
                2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
        0b11000100 || !0b11000100
        0b11000100 || 0b00111011
               0b11111111
        255, that is the answer.
