Using ssh-agent can help avoid the need for passwordless passphrases and results in a much more secure configuration. I have used it daily for years and Fedora even comes with it running by default now which I think is an excellent idea.
ssh-agent is indeed an extremely useful utility. If you're using PuTTY on Windows, you can use Pagent, which you can either download seperately, or it comes in the "installer for everything" download. Mac users can use SSHKeychain (which has some extra niceties like tunnel management), or, in 10.5.1, take advantage of the automatically- enabled ssh-agent.
