=>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,

If this helps, I added these two lines to my .bash_profile:

keychain --quiet ~/.ssh/id_dsa ~/.ssh/identity
. ~/.keychain/$(uname -n)-sh

And yes, the correct file is authorized_keys2.
