Forcing use of a crypto key ensures that some "reasonable"

Except that *anybody* who can gain access to a client box with the
crypto key for the server can not only gain access to the server, but
copy the crypto key elsewhere. And making the crypto key invisible is
just a failed attempt at "security-by-obscurity," since the default
location for ssh keys is rather well known.
It never ceases to amaze me that every time I enter the password to
mount a volume stored as a protected DMG on my work Mac, it asks me if I
want to save the password. What would be the point of
password-protecting a volume if it opened without manually entering the
password?
