Salam every one

I have some questions around ssh,,
first i have been trying to configure ssh not to ask for a password between my hosts..
I followed these steps
# ! /bin/sh
# start ssh agent
eval '/usr/bin/ssh-agent -s'
/usr/bin/ssh-add < /dev/null
# start normal x clients
twm & // here i got the following messege.. [Another window manager is already running on screen 0 ? tmw : unable to find any unmanaged screen]
actually i moved on the steps
exec xterm -name 'exit' -ls geometry 80x24+191+61
then i suppose to copy a file contained in my .xsession
~/.ssh/identity.pub , but i couldn't find it ...

can any body guess the problem

please i need help

You might want to have a read through this tutorial. I've found it to be an excellent guide to setting up ssh with key-based authentication.

Here is a good tutorial as well. http://www.suso.org/docs/shell/ssh.sdf
The key is to make sure the permissions is set correctly for your .ssh and other file using the chmod command.
