Ssh-agent can launch a program with the ssh identity attached to it. I
launch a bash under ssh-agent. This way, the whole bash carries my
identity PLUS passphrase. After issuing "ssh user@machine.com" I'll be
logged on to the machine without asking me for a passphrase or password.
Very nice, I'm jumping to all kinds of machines on one day.

man ssh-agent
