I have the ssh-agent problem fixed, however, I am still prompted for my
password to each host I try.
I have created both key files, identity and the id_dsa, and placed the
correspnding public versions into {HOME}/.ssh/authorized_keys and
${HOME}/.ssh/authorized_keys2 respectively. I have verified that ssh-agent
is running, and using 'ssh-add -l' verified that the identities have been
added.
Regardless, I am always prompted for my password.
Any ideas?

George,
Thanks!
I am not the original poster of this thread, but I posted a similar
thread asking about the same problem. You have solved my problem.
I added "eval `ssh-agent`" to my ~/.bash_profile and "ssh-agent -k"
to my ~/.bash_logout and everything works great.
The above was the missing key. I couldn't figure out how to have bash
process the output from ssh-agent, but I have it working now.
Thanks again!
Carey
