Another method of passwordless SSH logins

The easiest way is to download and use SSHKeychain (or something like it).

i agree. SSHKeychain is great and better than Daniel's keychain. well, it has a gui at least, which is what we OS X users like, right?

I agree. SSHKeychain is nicer than most other solutions because it only asks for your password the first time you actually SSH to another machine, not as soon as it starts up. This means that you don't have to keep entering your password if you aren't using SSH between login/logouts.

How well does SSHKeychain work when you ssh to a computer where you are not logged in into the GUI (typically a server) and then wants to ssh to another machine?

I do this all the time for different reasons:

1. I am behind some firewall or so that only allows outgoing ssh from certain nodes in the network
2. I want to keep sessions alive. I have a powerbook which I frequently disconnects, therefore to keep sessions alive I ssh into a something with a more stable connection (i.e. a desktop or server) starts one or more 'screen'-sessions, and within those screen-sessions I connect to other servers. Next time I connect my PB I can connect to the desktop and reattach to my screen-session.
