1. Open a terminal and type the ssh-keygen command.
2. It will ask you for a file in which the key should be saved (just
type yes or enter)
3. It will ask for a passphrase (password) for the key.
4. Example :
radha at localhost: $ ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/radha/.ssh/id_dsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in id_dsa.
Your public key has been saved in id_dsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
16:8e:e8:f2:1d:c9:b9:cf:43:9a:b3:3c:c1:1f:95:93 radha at localhost

....where, localhost is the name of your machine.  Your private key is
available at /home/radha/.ssh/id_dsa and a public key at
/home/radha/.ssh/id_dsa.pub. The passphrase is used to protect your
key so keep it nice and long (try not to forget it and if you attend
the next meet i'll tell you why :)).  The most important part <==
NEVER send the private key to anyone.

I suppose Ram is referring to the mail he sent to the list about the
content retrieval process. Not sure if this is it :
