It should also be noted that, if using RSA keys, you will be prompted for
a password if the password for the RSA key is not empty (If it is empty,
you will not be prompted). To avoid this, use ssh-agent. Read the
manpage on ssh-agent for more information on using it. RSA keys are
nice, in that your password never hits the wire. If I understand
the system correctly, your private key never hits the wire either. The
client uses the key to prove its identity via a signature or something
related to one.
Also note that password authentication can be turned off via
PasswordAuthentication in sshd_config and your private ssh config file
($HOME/.ssh/ssh_config).
