Set up SSH Agent on Login

mpf writes "This is a simple procedure to allow you to be prompted at login for your SSH passphrase and have it optionally stored in your Mac OS X Keychain, so you'll never have to enter your passphrase again! It allows you to use ssh from AppleScripts and other non-interactive applications without entering your passphase." Nice idea. It combines two pieces of software, one that starts ssh-agent on login, and one that gets called to provide your ssh passphrase when needed (which can store/retrieve it in the Keychain). There's a small AppleScript to call ssh-add on login, to tie it all together.
