Kick ass illustrations of ssh-agent and agent forwarding
http://unixwiz.net/techtips/ssh-agent-forwarding.htmlssh-agent
On reboot or on x startup, use ssh-agent to load a private key such that you only get to enter a password for the key once# ssh-agent # ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa
Then you will be able to ssh to other hosts without needing to unlock the private key again.
Changing the password of a private key
ssh-keygen -f id_rsa -p
