you can generate a new pair of keys with a empty (null) passphrase.
security risk blah blah. wonder if you can change the existing keys to do
that.
you can set up ssh-agent (with ssh-add). ssh-add actually take passphrase
from command line arguments. So, you can do a little init script to
wrap this up and tie it to your system run level. With the permission
carefully set, it could be somewhat safer than the null-passphrase
approach.
