Keychain Description

An OpenSSH and commercial SSH2-compatible RSA/DSA key management application Keychain helps you to manage ssh and GPG keys in a convenient and secure manner.Keychain acts as a front-end to ssh-agent, but will also allow you to easily have one long running ssh-agent process per system, rather than the norm of a single 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 key-based logins. What's New in This Release: · Updated README.rst with 2.7.0 and MacOS X package update. · lockfile() replacement from Parallels Inc. OpenVZ code, takelock() rewrite, resulting in ~100 line code savings. Default lock timeout set to 5 seconds, and now keychain will try to forcefully acquire the lock if the timeout aborts, rather than simply failing and aborting. · MacOS X/BSD improvements: fix sed call in Makefile for MacOS X and presumably other *BSD environments, Rename COPYING to COPYING.txt, slight COPYING.txt formatting changes to allow license to display more cleanly from MacOS X .pkg automated install. Fixed POD errors (removed '=end'). · Disable "Identity added" messages when --quiet is specified (Gentoo bug #250328, thanks to Richard Laager,) --help will print output to stdout (Gentoo bug #196060, thanks to Elan Ruusam?e,) output cleanup and colorization changes - moving away from blue and over to cyan as it displays better terminals with black background. Also some additional colorization. Version bump to 2.6.10.
