    I have two PCs. One of them has my servers running on it. The other
    has a larger hard drive and a CD-R drive. I would like to be able to
    ssh over to the server PC and tar the /etc and /var directories and then
    transfer the tars back to my other PC. I think I can set up the
    scheduling with cron, but I can't figure out how to use ssh without it
    asking for my password. I looked up in the RH documentation and it said
    that I could use ssh-add to store my passwords. I put ssh-add in my
    sessions->startup directory (Documentation said that when I restarted
    next time a dialog box would pop up asking me for my password and then
    it would store it), but no dialog box comes up, and I still have to
    enter my password every time. How would I do this?
