Good, but it doesn't work from cron. :)
ACTUALLY...if you use ssh-agent to spawn your cron it will work from cron. You could fire off a bash under ssh-agent, authenticate to your keys, start the cron daemon from within that environment, then exit the bash. Voila. ssh-agent works under cron. You can do this in any case where you want a trust relationship but don't want to use keys with no passphrase. You just have to manually start it at boot time so you can enter the passphrase. Much like an SSL cert with a passphrase in a web server.
