I'm setting up SSH to replace telnet for use on my LAN. I've gotten

config switches?
See /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ and the use-ssh-agent configuration option in
/etc/X11/Xsession.options.
ssh-agent should already be started for you if you simply use the
default setup. Simply run ssh-add from a gnome-terminal.
I'm running Etch with tasksel configured desktop environment. My
style of working doesn't use GUI much, but I have _many_
gnome-terminal windows open, and I want ssh links to several computers
on my screen. From reading a few advise web sites I get the impression
that I could reduce typing of passphrase by using ssh-agent and
ssh-add, but I can't figure out how.
And then it might be that these programs actually serve an entirely
different purpose than I believe.
Advice?
HTH.
