That's really not a suggested method for SSH.  If you've gone so far as to
install and configure SSH - you might as well type your password every time
you connect.

However, you can get around this (I think - never tried to, see above).

Straight from 'man sshd'
Rhosts authentication is normally disabled because it is fundamentally
insecure, but can be enabled in the server configuration file if desired.
System security is not improved unless  rshd(8),  rlogind(8),  rexecd(8),
and rexd (8) are disabled (thus completely disabling rlogin(1) and rsh(1)
into that machine).

Look in sshd_config - there should be a line dealing with rhosts, and
enabling the use of it.  look for somethign like:
RhostsAuthentication no
But it may differ depending on the distribution of SSH that you're using.
Change this to "yes", restart sshd, and you won't need to enter your
password.
