Some Doc Verbage for you

[Rob Spurlock]

Trying to contribute back since you have been soooo helpful.  I have
some additional help verbage for the File Exporting doc.  It pertains
to the Unattended Remote Login:

You have:
As the freeside user (on your freeside machine), generate an
authentication key using ssh-keygen. Since this is for unattended
operation, you need to use a blank passphrase. 
Append the newly-created identity.pub file to root's authorized_keys
on the remote machine(s). 

I discovered:
(Unless I did something wrong) My OpenSSH keygen created a key in
Version 1, but for some reason, my 2 servers wouldn't talk to each
other.  I use OpenSSH_2.5.2p2.  What I had to do is run the keygen
with the -t option such as keygen -t rsa and copy the id_rsa.pub file
to a authorized_keys2 file under the ~root/.ssh/ folder to have
~root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 in order to work.

So you might want to mention that depending on the version you might
create a id_rsa.pub file and copy the contents to a authorized_keys2
file on the server to be exported to.  The reason I mention this is
because I assumed from the docs that I had to create an identity.pub
and copy it to a authorized_keys file.  I spend a couple of hours
trying to figure out what I did wrong.

Hope that helps you with the documentation.  I know what a pain in
the ass it is to write everything down, not to mention every single
different possibility.
