Actually this is really mis-titled. It's not so much about SCP as about
setting up password-less secure communication between two hosts using SSH.

What Brendan has described not only works for SCP but for SSH and other
things which use SSH as the underlaying protocol as well, since once it's
done you can type ssh fred at otherpc and it will connect, authorise you and
start a cli session.
