keychain is a manager for ssh-agent. It's useful for keeping ssh keys
safe. Typing passwords multiple times makes people use passwordless
keys. Instead of doing that, ssh-agent can be used, but it's a bit
cumbersome to manage. keychain nicely wraps ssh-agent (and gpg-agent).

pkg-get -s http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing -U -u keychain

To use keychain, it's enough to add this to ~/.bash_profile:

keychain ~/.ssh/id_dsa
. ~/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh

(assuming the usage of bash and id_dsa as the ssh key in use)
