I am trying to learn using the ssh-agent..
I invoke it with the command
eval `ssh-agent`
i add my key with ssh-add

as you can see below everything seems fine... but it is n't.
The ssh-add -l show that the key is loaded, but when i invoke the ssh temp@akroneiro continues asking for passwords... what's the wrong

ssh-add -l
1024 e7:d6:ab:99:35:04:31:c4:21:57:dd:11:98:e9:85:27 /home/temp/.ssh/identity (RSA)
temp@akroneiro:/usr/local/mpich-1.2.5.2/examples/basic> ssh temp@akroneiro
temp@akroneiro's password:

Have you copied your public key to the remote machine's authorised_keys file?

I have just run it with some debug symbols... look please the log file....
