For support, you can visit us in the #funtoo irc channel or the Funtoo forums for keychain support questions.ĭaniel Robbins originally wrote keychain 1.0 through 2.0.3. Alternatively, the Funtoo Linux bug tracker can be used. Please feel free to use the GitHub issue tracker to report bugs. Keychain development sources can be found on GitHub. The latest release of Keychain can be found on the keychain GitHub release page. Keychain is compatible with many operating systems, including AIX, *BSD, Cygwin, MacOS X, Linux, WSL, HP/UX, Tru64 UNIX, IRIX, Solaris and GNU Hurd. The current version of keychain supports gpg-agent as well as ssh-agent (including GPG2.) The latest release of keychain is version 2.8.5, and was released on January 24, 2018. Those who are new to OpenSSH and the use of public/private keys for authentication may want to check out the following articles by Daniel Robbins, which will provide a gentle introduction to the concepts used by Keychain: Keychain also makes it easy for remote cron jobs to securely "hook in" to a long-running ssh-agent process, allowing your scripts to take advantage of key-based logins. With keychain, you only need to enter a passphrase once every time your local machine is rebooted. This dramatically reduces the number of times you need to enter your passphrase. It acts as a frontend to ssh-agent and ssh-add, but allows you to easily have one long running ssh-agent process per system, rather than the norm of one ssh-agent per login session. Keychain helps you to manage SSH and GPG keys in a convenient and secure manner.
