This sounds like you haven't got sshd set up correctly. You can get it to log you in soley based on keys, and whether or not you give a password is then dependent soley on whether your private key has a pass phrase or not and then whether or not you are using some ssh-agent to remember them for you. I have it setup so that access to ssh controlled accounts is soley via key. Private keys remaining on fixed computers at home have no passphrase, my laptop has a private key with a passphrase which I enter once on login. I have several accounts around the place with my public keys enumerated in their .ssh/authorized_keys file, so I have been able to contact git repositories with urls like git@www.chandlerfamily.org.uk www-data@www.chandlerfamily.org.uk and for my own account just www.chandlerfamily.org.uk all without entering a password. But following the discussion thread Junio pointed to I have converted everything to shared repositories and I now only use my own account to log in. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk Open Source.
