    Like any other operating system, you need to put your public key on the
    Tru64 server in the appropiate file in the appropiate directory and your
    private key on your client and then work with passphrases to put your
    private key in memory. This is possible from a PC using Pageant (Putty),
    but also from a UNIX client by using an ssh agent.

    You should familiarize yourself with SSH first, rather then with Tru64.
    I recommend reading O'Reilly´s SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive
    Guide. Tru64´s security guide has a chapter on SSH, but this is limited.
