The "openssl" command line utility won't let you create a passphraseless key, but it will let you remove the password from an existing key. Just do a command like this: $ mv foo.key foo.temp $ openssl -in foo.temp -out foo.key You'll have to enter the passphrase for the openssl command, but it will let you create the output (foo.key) without a passphrase.
