You only have to do it once per login session, and you don't have to store your passphrase in the system keychain (which isn't very secure). I have scripts that run from cron that use scp, so it's good that Leopard will prompt me for the passphrase, but it doesn't actually do the ssh-add, so I have to type it every time the script runs (instead of just once per login session). Or am I just overlooking this feature in Leopard? For me, the key feature of SSHKeychain is the ability to automatically add keys to the agent and prompt you for your passphrase.
