Take a look at my (very, VERY simple) automated SSH key management
tool, and then use ssh (not scp) as your transport choice in rsync.
(Note: scp would work fine with my method described below, but rsync
works with ssh, not scp, and since you're posting to the rsync list
I'll assume that's what you want to use...)
