A while back, I was able to ssh to another system on our net and it would only ask for my password. Now, it asks for the passphrase. I have recently created a key pair as part of the setup for WinCVS. It looks like I'll need to read up on the SSH docs to understand the ways to set this up. Ideally, I want the security of not sending passwords in clear text, like rsh does I guess, and I don't want to have to type in my pass phrase for each and every CVS command as it is a pain.

Thanks for the responses, I think I know where I need to look (and what I need to learn more about).
