Bug#112020: ITP: keychain -- An OpenSSH key manager
Package: wnpp
Severity: whishlist
From the keychain help:
Keychain is an OpenSSH key manager, typically run from ~/.bash_profile. When
run, it will make sure ssh-agent is running; if not, it will start ssh-agent.
It will redirect ssh-agent's output to ~/.ssh-agent, so that cron jobs that
need to use ssh-agent keys can simply source this file and make the necessary
passwordless ssh connections. In addition, when keychain runs, it will check
with ssh-agent and make sure that the ssh RSA/DSA keys that you specified on
the keychain command line have actually been added to ssh-agent. If not, you
are prompted for the appropriate passphrases so that they can be added by
keychain.
