Re: [tlug] Making my LAN a passwordless zone

Not sure about making it passwordless, but maybe you could load up
ssh-agent early on (I believe it can be scripted into .profile for
your shell) and load the keys ahead of time?  Then you get the nice
passphrase security, without having to use it everytime.  :)
