Asking for password is a regular behavior on account of the ssh. If you do not really need a secure connection, you can use either rsh, rlogin or other remote shell tools, which should be easily configured to rely on the authentication you made while getting into one computer, and allow you the same user name in others. No, I don't know where exactly to tweak this. These tools are not safe, of course. Not only are they not encrypted, but they also enable someone to connect his/her machine to the network, tell the machine it has a certain hostname and a certain ip, define a username on it (say root), and immediately connect to your network. If I understand correctly, the way to create an ssh without a password involves re-entering your passphrase for your gpg key every time you init your X.
