Here are the steps I did for the same.I have two servers namely S8300B_6(135.27.153.201) and the other is S8300_8(135.27.153.206)
On S8300B_6 I am doing the following steps as root
root@S8300B_6> ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_dsa):{I enter}
/root/.ssh/id_dsa already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)?{y}
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):{I enter}
Enter same passphrase again:{I enter}
The key fingerprint is:
28:07:aa:29:2a:e3:19:21:a8:cc:a0:f2:7d:2a:78:66 root@S8300B_6
Now I run
scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub init@135.27.153.206:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Than I run the command
ssh 135.27.153.206 but again it asks me password.

now, when you'll do:
/sbin/shutdown (args) it will work as a user.


sticky-bit will be easier in this case.
