Wouldn't the `Right' solution be to put a passphrase on the private
key and use ssh-agent to hold the key.
Then you can type the passphrase (which can be long) once and then
execte a whole batch of ssh commands without worrying about a
password.
Of course, if your machine really is compromised you're dead anyway,
al you can do is delay them a little.
