Rich,
I only use ssh and associated tools with keys when remoting in from the
outside. On my internal LAN, I find NFS simpler and more versatile. One
box exports several directories via NFS, users/no root. The other boxes
then just mount those as users and its all drag/drop.
Also, you can also create $HOME/.ssh/config (or /etc/ssh/ssh_config for
all users):
--------
Host <servername>
User <user on server>
IdentityFile <location of ssh key>
---------
For the local LAN I created ssh key pairs without a passphrase, with all
hosts having a set in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys and as theses never go
"outside" no passphrase is not an issue.
