You will want to investigate the ssh-agent command to be used
in conjunction with the ssh-add command.

The name of the file is $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys and/or
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 (depending on the version of OpenSSH).

Typical possibility:

        exec ssh-agent $SHELL
        ssh-add
        <enter your pass phrase>

Now, assuming that the $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (or id_dsa.pub) file has
been added to your $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file on the server, it
should be possible to 'ssh server date' without entering your pass
phrase.

        Enjoy!
