The article you mention:
Tells you to chmod the .ssh folder to 755, I'm fairly sure it has to be chmodded to 700 or else SSH will not work because the .ssh directory is world readable with a chmod of 755?

The "ssh -F /user/.ssh/ssh_config" means that the ssh command should use the ssh client configuration from the file specified rather then the default file in /etc/ssh or /usr/local/etc usually.
The ConnectTimeOut=5 is self explanatory (SSH will only wait for 5 (seconds?) before giving up trying to connect)
The $host will be a variable you set to specify which host to connect to, hostname will cause an error I think and is not required.

The best way to be able to SSH to 500 hosts without passwords is to have a common NFS mounted home directory with a .ssh folder under it with a authorized_keys file in it.

Once you get passwordless SSH to work passwordless SCP will also work.

NAME

       libgnome-keyring - gnome keyring library.

DESCRIPTION

       GNOME Keyring is a system to store passwords and other sensitive data in a standardized way across all GNOME applications.

       A  keyring  stores  a collection of encrypted passwords and encrypted information about those passwords. A user can have multiple keyrings,
       each for a different use, but there is a default one, called 'login'. There is also a special 'session' keyring which is not stored on disk
       and goes away when you log out.

       When a user logs into GNOME, the keyrings are locked and a master keyring password has to be provided in order to unlock each of them.

       GNOME  Keyring  includes  an  SSH  agent which integrates with the gnome-keyring and user login for its passwords. It can also use the main
       X.509 private key store.

       GNOME Keyring will set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable when it starts up.

       The id_rsa and id_dsa files in ~/.ssh are automatically usable through the SSH agent without first 'loading' them. Other X.509 private keys
       marked with the 'ssh-authentication' purpose are also usable.

       Additional SSH keys can be manually loaded and managed via the ssh-add command.

       If  you	use another SSH agent(such as the ssh-agent included with OpenSSH), you may want to disable the SSH agent in GNOME Keyring to pre-
       vent ssh from using it instead of your prefered SSH agent. You can set /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh gconf key to  false.  This
       prevents the SSH component of gnome-keyring from starting up when the user logs in.
