Note: If you
have disallowed ssh password authentication (which is advised
but not mandatory), you need to follow the instructions here.
Otherwise you can skip this section.
I checked the ssh configuration file and ssh password authentication
is enabled. My Centos 5.5 is an Out of the Box installation, so
this setting was not done by me - at least not directly. So my
thinking was/is that I could just skip the rest of that part of the
setup.
