I found these two articles *very* helpful in setting up ssh passwordless login:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc.html and http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc2/ The second mainly deals with keychain, a handy little program that starts up at login and it in turn starts up ssh-agent and ssh-add. It'll ask you for your password once when it loads your identity file. Once agent is running, you don't have to keep typing your password over and over again (for ssh-agent) Quote from article: "To solve these problems, I wrote a handy bash-based ssh-agent front-end called keychain. What makes keychain special is the fact that it allows you to use a single ssh-agent process per system, not just per login session. This means that you only need to do one ssh-add per private key, period. As we'll see in a bit, keychain even helps to optimize the ssh-add process by only trying to add private keys that aren't already in the running ssh-agent's cache. " I followed these instructions and it worked the first time.
