Next, change to the "bar" account on client_host and generate the
key pair with the commands
- ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
- # hit enter twice to create a key with no passphrase
+ ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -b 2048 -N '' -f $key
-This generates the two files id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in ~/.ssh.
-Note that para_server refuses to use a key if it is shorter than
-2048 bits. Moreover, para_client refuses to use a private key which
-is world-readable.

para_server only needs to know the public key of the key pair just
created. Copy this public key to server_host:
