That would be me. I proposed to package it, send a setup.hint. And added a task to follow up on it and count the votes. I even made a package -- I just forget that it's not enough to have a TODO list. It's also required to actually check sometimes 8-) I've just counted the votes and it's one for (and with my own two for) and one maybe. So that's a go. Would anyone upload the package to cygwin.com. http://hackdata.com/cygwin/keychain-1.8-1/keychain-1.8-1.tar.bz2 http://hackdata.com/cygwin/keychain-1.8-1/keychain-1.8-1-src.tar.bz2 http://hackdata.com/cygwin/keychain-1.8-1/setup.hint setup.hint sdesc: "An OpenSSH key manager" ldesc: "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." category: Utils # cygwin contains kill and ps # sh-utils contains uname and whoami requires: ssh, bash, grep, gawk, sh-utils, cygwin test: 1.8-1 --- Since this is the first release I think it should be a "test" package for some time. Even that I've been running it over a month now. There is one problem when the ssh-agent is started inside a rxvt session and the sessions is closed without stopping the agent, some of rxvt is still waiting for the agent to finish. So there is a warning when shuting down the computer. This doesn't happen when starting the agent from a windows console. > > Rob -- Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Hack Kampbjørn
