SSH key generation and keychain

[Eric Pfeifer]

A long time lurker first time poster...

I am in the process of trying to automate some of my accounts using ssh and rsa
keys. I pulled down keychain and have been reading some net references on how
to configure ssh to allow a passwordless login.

I've established my keypair and copied the public key (id_rsa.pub) to the .ssh
home directory on the remote machine and merged it into authorized_keys. I've
ran ssh-agent and did an ssh-add. but I still get prompted for my key
passphrase. How can I set it up so I don't get prompted?

Thanks,
