Hi,

I'm sorry for not replying to this bug report earlier when I adopted
the Debian package of keychain. Also, yeah, I realize that the bug
report was filed a long time ago and you may have moved on.

Still... are you sure that `--inherit any` is what you want to use in
this case? Would `--inherit any-once` not be better? When I try
running keychain after a ~/.keychain/<hostname>-sh file has already
been created, `--inherit any-once` looks at the file and uses
the already running SSH agent.

Again, sorry for not replying sooner!

G'luck,
Peter
