how to make ssh-agent automatically

[Morche Matthias]

Simpler than using keychain and ssh-agent, Hmm... did You ever try to
just generate your key by ssh-keygen and then copy the public key
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub eg to Your remote host into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
Would You consider this to be simpler?
