Hi TK, Thaths,
Another way of doing this (with single-login -- not completely without
interaction) is to run
eval `ssh-agent ` ; ssh-add
in a shell to get your key automatically added to all ssh sessions
from that shell without firther interaction. You /will/ have to give
your pass phrase once when you run the ssh-add command above.
Regards,
