You can use passphrases with ssh-keygen, too. It's just that it's most commonly used without one, much like Keychain. Chris St. Pierre Chris - What, if anything, would be the benefit of using a passphrase with ssh, if you were using it mainly for shell scripts? Does it affect the functionality of the script? I've set all my ssh connections up without a passphrase, but I was curious about it.
