You can set your key with no passphrase (bad), or you can use ssh-agent.
try this:
>eval `ssh-agent`
Agent pid 11698
>ssh-add
Need passphrase for /home/pistole/.ssh/identity ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Enter passphrase:
Identity added: /home/pistole/.ssh/identity ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
from then on (untill you kill ssh-agent), ssh-agent remembers your
passphrase, and you don't have to enter it every time you want to scp
or slogin.
