On the following page (unfortunately it is just in German language),
the author mentions ssh-agent that stores passphrase in local memory for
a certain period of time.

I was thinking of something of that kind. But could not make out how
exactly it works.

Anyhow, an empty passphrase will be my choice if that deos not work.
