Sounds good to me.

I know, but I felt it was worth doing anyway.  Just be sure to change

I'm not prompted for a password either, but it appears that
keyboard-interactive is the method that succeeds:

debug1: Host 'savannah.nongnu.org' is known and matches the RSA host key.
debug1: Found key in /thor/scjones/.ssh/known_hosts:11
debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct
