The password isn't required every time: Since Potato ssh-agent is started
up automatically with the xsession (assumed ssh is proberly installed).
So you have to call ssh-add < /dev/null only once and enter the ssh passwor
in the raising dialog box. Next time you use ssh, ssh-agent is asked for that
password.
