	Hi, I followed the instructions for making ssh connections w/o passwords using the public key authentication. This worked fine from a Mac with a static IP, but is not working from my machine behind a router (DHCP). When I generate my key with ssh-keygen, the key that is generated is for machinename.local. Could this be the problem? The other machine w. static IP's key is not based on the rendezvous name... Is it possible to do public key auth on machines without a static IP? How should I do this with machines behind a router/DHCP assigned machines?
