Are you still being asked for your passphrase?  I noticed a couple
of days ago that ssh to freefall wanted my passphrase, but I didn't need
it yesterday or today.  Sunspots?  Full moon?  

Even before OpenSSH, I've had this problem in the past.  Sometimes
it seemed to be due to reverse DNS lookups not resolving
correctly (my ISP wasn't always responding to reverse DNS
lookups correctly).
