I probably should have referred to it as "pam_ssh" not as it is known in
some of the packages.

I can't really explain it better than the second link does. I've used
it before on a Fedora Core 4 system. Liked it a lot. I have had to log
into 10-15 systems in a day and many of them multiple times. Beats
typing my pass-phrase each time and I also don't have to leave the
connection/login open when not working on the system.
