Re: feature-full ssh gui?

[Jeff Largent <jlargent@imagelinks.com>]

Instead of setting up ssh to bypass passwords, set it up to
use ssh-agent and ~/.ssh/authorized_hosts.  You can start
the agent at login, it asks for your ssh passphrase verifies
it againt the keys, when you ssh to a host if your pub key is
in the authorized_hosts file the agent will provide the authenication.
