Greg, are you aware of ssh-agent?  Same convenience, same possible
exploits, but at least they've done the hard work for ya. :)

I usually just run XEmacs under ssh-agent.  First thing you do is fire
up a shell buffer, run ssh-add to authenticate once, and from there
on, all your ssh interactions (not just with SF) yank the private key
out of the ssh-agent process and never bother you with a passphrase
prompt.
