[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: keychain-2.5.3.1-1


DESCRIPTION:
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.


INSTALLATION:
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

   to Azarah for spotting it.

* keychain 2.5.3 (09 Mar 2005)

   09 Mar 2005; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>;

   06 Mar 2005; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>;
   Fix bug 78974 "keychain errors on Big/IP (x86 BSD variant)" by refraining
   from using ! in conditional expressions.  Fix RSA fingerprint extraction
   on Solaris, reported in email by Travis Fitch.  Use $HOSTNAME when
   possible instead of calling uname -n to improve bash_profile
   compatibility.

* keychain 2.5.1 (12 Jan 2005)

   Don't accidentally inherit a forwarded agent when

   splash.

* keychain 2.5.0 (07 Jan 2005)

   07 Jan 2005; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>;
   Add inheritance support via --inherit.  Add parameters to --stop for
   more control.  Change the default behavior of keychain to inherit if
   there's no keychain agent running ("--inherit local-once"), and
   refrain from killing other agents unless "--stop others" is
   specified.

   17 Nov 2004; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>;
   Fix bug 69879: Update findpids to work again on BSD; it has been
   broken since the changes in version 2.4.2.  Now we use OSTYPE (bash)
   or uname to determine the system type and call ps appropriately.

   Make gpg support more complete.  Allow adding keys, clearing the
   agent, etc.  Fix --quick support to work properly again; it was
   broken since 2.4.0.  Change default --attempts to 1 since the progs
   ask multiple times anyway.

   22 Sep 2004; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>;
   Fix bugs 64174 and 64178; support Sun SSH, which is really OpenSSH

   Bardsley for lots of help debugging on Solaris 9

   Fix bug reported by Matthew S. Moore in email; escape the backticks
   in --help output

   Fix bug reported by Herbie Ong in email; set pidf, cshpidf and lockf
   variables after parsing command-line to honor --dir setting

   Fix bug reported by Stephan Stahl in email; make spaces in filenames
   work throughout keychain, even in pure Bourne shell

   Fix operation on HP-UX with older OpenSSH by interpreting output of
   ssh-add as well as the error status

* keychain 2.3.2 (16 Jun 2004)

   03 May 2004; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>;
   Call loadagent prior to generating HOSTNAME-csh file so that
   variables are set.

* keychain 2.2.1 (27 Apr 2004)

   27 Apr 2004; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>;
   Find running ssh-agent processes by searching for /[s]sh-agen/
   instead of /[s]sh-agent/ for the sake of Solaris, which cuts off ps
   -u output at 8 characters.  Thanks to Clay England for reporting the
   problem and testing the fix.

* keychain 2.2.0 (21 Apr 2004)

   21 Apr 2004; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>;
   Rewrote most of the code, organized into functions, fixed speed
   issues involving ps, fixed compatibility issues for various UNIXes,
   hopefully didn't introduce too many bugs.  This version has a
   --quick option (for me) and a --timeout option (for carpaski).

   Also added a Makefile and converted the man-page to pod for easier
   editing.  See perlpod(1) for information on the format.  Note that
   the pod is sucked into keychain and colorized when you run make.
