I have followed exactly the instruction but still with the same problem.

135 ssh-keygen -t dsa

when I do ssh localhost , i get still this

oar@lion:~$ ssh localhost
*Enter passphrase for key '/home/oar/.ssh/id_dsa':*

Perhaps what you're looking for is ssh-agent, a program that provides a
relatively secure way of storing your ssh passphrase. You can link the
agent to your GNOME login keyring so that your login password will
suffice for subsequent ssh sessions. There are different opinions on
the matter, but I'm not usually comfortable with passphraseless ssh
keys. Ssh-agent gives you the best of both worlds. Start with man
ssh-agent.

Good luck,
