Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this. More thanks to those who are kind enough to respond.
Here's my situation/goal: I have about 40 IBM RS/6000's running AIX 4.3.3 that I've installed OpenSSH v2.5.1 on. I have it installed and working correctly, but I don't understand the whole key management thing. I have two servers that I'm testing things on. I've generated keys, and each one knows about the others keys in the authorized_keys file. I can log in and start the ssh agents and load my keys into memory, and enter my passphrase, and then run scp, etc. without having to enter a password each time. When I log out, and log back in, I have to start back at square one. Is there a way to prevent this? Is there a way I can start the agent, load the keys, and enter the passphrase, say, once a month? Is there such a thing as a key server? I'm really confused.
