Summary
The Terminal application on Mac OS X can be used to generate an SSH key, which will allow users to login to their server without manually entering a password. The key consists of two files: a private key and a public key, which should never be shared with anyone. The ssh-keygen utility generates the key pair and stores them in a safe location so that they can bypass the login prompt when connecting to the server.

Summary
Passwordless Login is a way to automatically log in via SSH without needing to enter a password. This can be done by copying the local public key to the DreamHost server, updating the permissions, and adding the DreamHost user's password. Once the keys are added, the user can log in with the command "username@server.dreamhost.com" and the DreamHost server's IP address.
