I have been trying to use SSH and am trying to figure this out.

I used ssh-keygen and it returned;

e5:c2:4e:b0:19:20:89:68:08:af:bd:b5:7b:ff:1c:b4 david@d.tracker

It asks me for a passphrase which I enter
Then it gives me passphrase, saves the public key and gives me a "fingerprint"

I went to ~./.ssh and did a;

cp identity.pub authorized_keys

like the man pages says.

Now I try to login;

bash-2.03$ ssh localhost
david@localhost's password: 
Connection to localhost closed by remote host.
Connection to localhost closed.
bash-2.03$ 

Now is the password it asks for, my system password or the passphrase 
from above?

is the fingerprint what the man page calls my private key? If so,
does it include the david@d.tracker at the end?

I also tried "ssh d.tracker" 
bash-2.03$ ssh d.tracker
Secure connection to d.tracker refused.
bash-2.03$

Any idea where to go from here?
