SSH question

[Anne Wilson]

Under my FC4 installs I am asked for the ssh passphrase at login time.  This 
box, FC6, does not ask me.  Instead I am asked when I first open a terminal.  
Normally this causes no problem.  However, today I had to go out early and 
did not open a terminal until a few minutes ago.  I find that an rsync across 
the network was refused permission - presumably because I had not made 
this 'first step'.

What is the reason for the change in behaviour?  What would I have to do if I 
wanted to keep the old behaviour?  If it's not advisable, why not?
