Do I have to generate the key on each client ?

Subject: Do I have to generate the key on each client ?
Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2004 18:16:36 +0100
Dear all,

I'm using OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 (latest version) on different kind of Unix
machines (linux, solaris, HP-UX, etc.).

I've got a question:
Does a user need to generate the necessary keys on each client and
subsequently incorporate the Public User Key from each client into the
appropriate server's $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file or can't he generate
the keys once from one place and then copy them in the right place ?

The first solution is burdensome in our environment.
Is there an utility within ssh that automate the propagation of appropriate
entries in the necessary server-side $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Rgds,
Sabrina
