Darn straight. And using ssh-agent (or Pageant with PuTTY on Windows) in
conjunction with key forwarding, you can make it easy to script stuff that
runs across multiple machines, thereby automating an entire server farm, if
you want to. Unix admin maxim: if you have to do something more than once,
write a script for it. See

We certainly don't want to revert to the "point-and-grunt" method of doing
things found in the Windows world. I thought we'd put that behind us when
we stopped living in the trees.
