Use ssh-agent along with RSA or DSA passphrase. There are many ways
to do this, here's one.
...From bash command line (after using ssh-keygen to generate either
an RSA or a DSA passphrase)...
exec ssh-agent $SHELL
ssh-add
...ssh-add will prompt for the passphrase and save the key for
ssh-agent. Now anything started from that shell will not need a
password (nor passphrase) since the ssh-agent will pass the key
automagically....
emacs &
Hope this helps.
