Ok,
here is what you do,
this will generate a private/public pair of keys with the name you will choose or standard name is_rsa, id_rsa.pub
You will find them in the .ssh durectory, subdirectory of
the user's home (i.e. /root/ or /home/username)
Example:
To register the public key for the user john, login as john and run the above command then
Create the file authorized_keys if it doe not exists.
Now, on each client from which the user john has to have access enable ssh-agent
then import the private key
