John Simpson has a nice set of detailed instructions for setting this up as well.
Server Setup
On the machine you want to connect to, make sure the necessary SSH directory and key files are in the home directory of the user you are going to connect to the server as:

mkdir -m 700 ~/.ssh
touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
