I don't want to login at all. :-) Basically, I want to login just
once and stay logged in. And then I'd like to be able to do stuff
through this session only (all kinds of different stuff, like shell
commands, scp, CVS transfers, rsync, etc.) and not authenticate each
time. Not even conveniently with ssh-agent's cached public keys...

No crazy stuff in my email. ;-)
