I intend to make a new package for the keychain script from: http://www.gentoo.org/projects/keychain/
Proposed setup.hint (mostly taken from debian: http://packages.debian.org/testing/non-us/keychain.html): sdesc: "An OpenSSH key manager" ldesc: "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." category: Utils # cygwin contains kill and ps # sh-utils contains uname and whoami requires: ssh, bash, grep, gawk, sh-utils, cygwin Debian also has made a man page from the --help output, should I 'steal' it. Or is the README and `keychain --help` documentation enough? -- Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Hack Kampbj�rn
