A highly useful resource for getting SSH to work can be found at:

http://mah.everybody.org/docs/ssh

The above page explains how to set up ssh-agent, which like I said, won't help with JB7. But it does get you half way there. Once you've got ssh-agent working, you just need to tell ssh to use the same private key ssh-agent does. By default, ssh looks at ~/.ssh/identity, but ssh-keygen usually creates keys called ~/.ssh/id_dsa or ~/.ssh/id_rsa. So if you don't already have ~/.ssh/identity, try this command:

ln -s ~/.ssh/id_dsa ~/.ssh/identity

If you use id_rsa, use it instead. Then, make sure the permissions for .ssh and everything in it are readable only by your login (600).

So, to test, make sure ssh-agent is not running and try to ssh to the remote system. If that works, JB7 will work too.
