Do you recognize the threat of malware (such as a random script you download) just copying the private key and shipping it off? A passphrase defeats that threat. And integrating the ssh agent with something like the gnome keyring means yo

The key idea is the very general principle that you increase security by reducing the scope of resources that you must trust. cperciva is giving 2 examples: (1) use a service provider that doesn't require your trust. (2) limit the exposu
