Hmmmm. I think I got things to work!

Found another howto with a search for ssh-agent, and I have done two things
to make this work:
1) I ran "ssh-keygen -t rsa1" again, and copied the identity.pub contents
again to the other machine's authorized_keys file
2) I also ran "ssh-keygen -t dsa" and also placed this public key from
id_dsa.pub into the other machine's authorized_keys file.

And now I can log on via ssh or scp without being prompted for the password.

I am not specifically using ssh-agent, by the way. So unless this agent has
been configured automatically when I set up ssh, I would imagine that I am
not using it.

Of course I have not tested whether this will work in batch mode. That comes
next.
