Depends on what you are doing but keychain definitely looks interesting (haven't given it a try yet). Looking at the description of keychain I'd still go with a passphraseless key though. I don't want automated scripts failing because a server has rebooted and I forgot to run keychain. The passphraseless key would be severely restricted: - login only allowed from known host - key only used in purpose specific case (not for general login) - key restricted in port forwards allowed - possibly forcibly running a command on login, allow nothing else I'm not sure how keychain reduces the risks. A passphraseless key is mode 400, root or user-level compromise is required for it to be used in an attack. The same level of compromise would make your keychain setup just as vulnerable, right?

Using a ssh key without a passphrase seems to be be a bad idea. You need to look on keychain.

Even better, use a key with a passphrase, but run the ssh-agent -- Mark Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Saiko Internet Technologies -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
