That's odd.  I am able to get commands to work over SSH without a 
password.  I copied the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on my work 
computer into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on my home computer.  Now I can SSH 
from my work computer to my home computer like this:

ssh me@myhomepc date

And it logs into my home computer and then runs the date command.  I did 
not have to do anything with the authorized_keys file on my work 
computer to make this happen.
