    About: keychain helps you to manage RSA and DSA keys in  a convenient and
    secure manner. It acts as a  frontend to SSH-agent, but allows you to
    easily  have one long running SSH-agent process per  system, rather than
    the norm of one SSH-agent  per login session. This dramatically reduces the
     number of times you need to enter your  passphrase - with keychain, you
    only need to enter  a passphrase once every time your local machine is 
    rebooted. keychain also makes it easy for remote  cron jobs to securely
    "hook in" to a long running  SSH-agent process, allowing your scripts to
    take  advantage of RSA and DSA keys. 
    
    Changes: Full compatibility for Linux, BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and potentially
    other operating systems; testing has been done under Solaris, Linux, and
    IRIX.
