keychain 1.8 by Daniel Robbins (http://freshmeat.net/users/gentoo/) Thursday, November 29th 2001 06:20 Security Utilities 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: This version contains many shell compatibility improvements, and various other fixes, including improved "lockfile" settings, improved detection of failed passphrase attempts, the new ability to query public keys if the private key doesn't contain a fingerprint, a quiet mode fix, and a new "--local" option for non-NFS users who don't want to have the hostname appended to keychain's dot files.
