Hve you tweaked sshd_config? There are plenty of how-to's out there, but essentially,
you uncomment the following in the coonfig file:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
Additionally, I added:
PasswordAuthentication yes
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
Also, take a look at the use of ssh-agent and ssh-add. The man pages will work for you,
and there are many how-to's and tutes.
You might also want to use Keychain (www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/).
HTH.
