Hey.

I had a question during the ssh talk given a while ago.  (2-3 months?)
Something like...  "what's the alternative to a password-less ssh key
for automating multi-host maintenance?"  It never quite got answered.
The issue is coming up for me again today.  :)  What do I do?

Do you mean 'passphrase-less'?
You can use the ssh agent stuff to hold yer decrypted ssh keys in memory, and provide them as necessary for authentication... that way you only have to put in yer pass phrase once per session (which, I think, can be defined multiple ways).
