![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} Ssh and Mac OS X Keychain -- Comment()
SSP asked for details about my ssh integration with Mac OS X Keychain. I'm using the keychain unix system, and the Mac OS X Keychain integration happens through SSHPassKey. (There are two software packages with the same name here.) SSHPassKey is quite old Mac software, but surprisingly it still works. I'm not quite sure how much it needs tailoring to function (I installed it five years ago or so), as I just moved the files from my old TiBook to the new MBP. This combination is quite handy - after starting up the machine, the system starts up with the first use of Terminal (it asks for a Mac Keychain password), and from there on I don't need to give any ssh passwords at all. I set up this a long time ago, and since then I have forgotten all the details. But there was some tinkering involved (not modifying the software, though). I hope this helps those who would like to try something similar.
