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) Maciej _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/users
