DESCRIPTION:
Keychain is an OpenSSH key manager, typically run from
~/.bash_profile. When run, it will make sure ssh-agent is running; if
not, it will start ssh-agent. It will redirect ssh-agent's output to
~/.ssh-agent, so that cron jobs that need to use ssh-agent keys can
simply source this file and make the necessary passwordless ssh
connections. In addition, when keychain runs, it will check with
ssh-agent and make sure that the ssh RSA/DSA keys that you specified on
the keychain command line have actually been added to ssh-agent. If not,
you are prompted for the appropriate passphrases so that they can be
added by keychain.
INSTALLATION:
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

Fix problem introduced in 2.5.3 wrt adding gpg keys to the agent. Thanks
to Azarah for spotting it.
* keychain 2.5.3 (09 Mar 2005)
09 Mar 2005; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Improve handling of DISPLAY by unsetting if blank. Call gpg with
--use-agent explicitly.
* keychain 2.5.2 (06 Mar 2005)
06 Mar 2005; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Fix bug 78974 "keychain errors on Big/IP (x86 BSD variant)" by refraining
from using ! in conditional expressions. Fix RSA fingerprint extraction
on Solaris, reported in email by Travis Fitch. Use $HOSTNAME when
possible instead of calling uname -n to improve bash_profile
compatibility.
* keychain 2.5.1 (12 Jan 2005)
12 Jan 2005; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Don't accidentally inherit a forwarded agent when
inheritwhich=local-once. Move the --stop warning after the version
splash.
* keychain 2.5.0 (07 Jan 2005)
07 Jan 2005; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Add inheritance support via --inherit. Add parameters to --stop for
more control. Change the default behavior of keychain to inherit if
there's no keychain agent running ("--inherit local-once"), and
refrain from killing other agents unless "--stop others" is
specified.
* keychain 2.4.3 (17 Nov 2004)
17 Nov 2004; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Fix bug 69879: Update findpids to work again on BSD; it has been
broken since the changes in version 2.4.2. Now we use OSTYPE (bash)
or uname to determine the system type and call ps appropriately.
* keychain 2.4.2.1 (30 Sep 2004)
30 Sep 2004; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Fix minor issues in the test for existing gpg keys wrt DISPLAY
* keychain 2.4.2 (29 Sep 2004)
29 Sep 2004; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Make gpg support more complete. Allow adding keys, clearing the
agent, etc. Fix --quick support to work properly again; it was
broken since 2.4.0. Change default --attempts to 1 since the progs
ask multiple times anyway.
* keychain 2.4.1 (22 Sep 2004)
22 Sep 2004; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Fix bugs 64174 and 64178; support Sun SSH, which is really OpenSSH
in disguise and a few critical outputs changed. Thanks to Nathan
Bardsley for lots of help debugging on Solaris 9
15 Sep 2004; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Fix pod2man output so it formats properly on SGI systems. Thanks to

Fix bug reported by Herbie Ong in email; set pidf, cshpidf and lockf
variables after parsing command-line to honor --dir setting
Fix bug reported by Stephan Stahl in email; make spaces in filenames
work throughout keychain, even in pure Bourne shell
Fix operation on HP-UX with older OpenSSH by interpreting output of
ssh-add as well as the error status
* keychain 2.3.2 (16 Jun 2004)
16 Jun 2004; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Fix bug 53837 (keychain needs ssh-askpass) by unsetting SSH_ASKPASS

* keychain 2.2.1 (27 Apr 2004)
27 Apr 2004; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Find running ssh-agent processes by searching for /[s]sh-agen/
instead of /[s]sh-agent/ for the sake of Solaris, which cuts off ps
-u output at 8 characters. Thanks to Clay England for reporting the
problem and testing the fix.
* keychain 2.2.0 (21 Apr 2004)
21 Apr 2004; Aron Griffis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Rewrote most of the code, organized into functions, fixed speed
issues involving ps, fixed compatibility issues for various UNIXes,
hopefully didn't introduce too many bugs. This version has a
--quick option (for me) and a --timeout option (for carpaski).
Also added a Makefile and converted the man-page to pod for easier
editing. See perlpod(1) for information on the format. Note that
the pod is sucked into keychain and colorized when you run make.
