I've got two computers, a server and a client. The server doesn't have a monitor hooked up to it, so I always access it from the client through SSH. I want to be able to ssh over to the server from the client PC without having to type in my password every time. I scp'd my ~/.ssh/known_hosts file over to the server, but it still asks me for my password every time I log in over there (which is quite often actually.) What else do I have to do to avoid having to enter my password every time? -Michael Sullivan-
These series of articles by Daniel Robbins are very useful

They discuss the use of keychain (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/index.xml) to se up secure passwordless ssh access
