This begs the question, but one way is to set an ssh public/private key
pair and have ssh-agent ask for its ssh passphrase once at login.
Thereafter, ssh-agent passes on your authentication info to applications
that need it.  So, enter your passphrase once, and for the length of
your X session you get password-free access anywhere you have installed
your ssh public key.

Too lazy to type, so see this for examplantions:

This document assumes ssh2, so things are slightly different for those
few hosts (like shell.sonic.net) that still run sshd ver 1 only.
