Wink remote login no password FC2


I am setting up a computer cluster and want to implement remote login with no password. I am behind a firewall and security for the cluster is not an issue for me. Because the FC2 distribution does not contain source code It is not clear to me how to accomplish my goal. I can use either ssh or rsh. Is there an easy way to set up remote login with no password or do I have to download the source code for rsh, xinetd, pamd and rebuild the relevant files? Any advice that would make this easy would truly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If ssh was compiled properly to begin with (and I imagine Red Hat would have), it should be good to go without the source code. There is a tutorial here at LQ that explains how to set up ssh to authenticate with keys rather than using passwords.
