You need to start an ssh-agent on the machine you're connecting from and
populate it with your keychain:
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add
Add the above to your .profile, or check the Linux PAM implementation to
see if it has ssh

It's not asking for your password. It's asking for your passphrase to
decrypt your private key. Are you running an ssh-agent on the Suse
system?

look at your permissions in ~/.ssh on the freebsd box. Make sure your home
directory does not have insecure permissions and .ssh + all the files in
there are not writable by anyone else.
No worries there. Thanks.

Hi Gavin,
From your Suse, try to run the ssh commando with -v or even -vv or -vvv
to get debugging output.
If you can't figure out what the debugging output wants to tell you, send
it to the list.
But complete, copy 'n' paste please :)

DOn't you have a local IT helpdesk? This is pretty basic stuff that they
should have documentation for.

I'm not quite sure right now why you're using rsa keys. I'm always using
dsa keys (ssh-keygen -t dsa). It comes to my mind, that rsa keys are for
ssh version 1, while dsa keys are for ssh version 2.
But I could be wrong here ;)
No man
