+The pam_ssh module provides single sign-on behavior for ssh.
+On login, the user types an ssh private key passphrase in place of,
+or in addition to the password. In the pam session phase, an
+ssh-agent process is started and keys are added. For the entire
+session, the user can ssh to other hosts that accept key
+authentication without typing any passwords.
