PSYCHOS  I'd like SSHKeychain to not display itself at all in the dock or menu bar. This worked fine in 0.8.1 by setting it to Dock-only and setting LSUIElement to 1 in the Info.plist. However, in 0.8.2, LSUIElement reverts to 0 and the dock icon shows up anyways. Locking the Info.plist causes the app to quit after a few seconds.

Does anyone know how I might fully hide SSHKeychain without mucking with the source?

(I have to add, this is one of the most useful pieces of MacOS freeware out there!)

PSYCHOS  Turns out I posted rather hastily. Checked my ~/src directory, and indeed I had modified the source for 0.8.1, to force it to set LSUIElement to 1 no matter what. Will do the same to 0.8.2.

SJK  Since updating to 0.8.2 I've noticed this console message (with typo):

2007-09-05 19:24:40.548 SSHKeychain[20474] Buggy password in keycahin workaround

No errors when running Keychain First Aid in Keychain Access.

CHRISTOPH3  My installer says the install had problems and suggests that the install failed. The install looked like it worked though.

SJK  0.8.2 installed and runs fine for me, though the installer package has a hidden .gdb_history file that was dropped in /Applications.

Related side-topic annoyance: Among other things, the often-too-dumb Apple Installer begs for the ability to let experienced users deselect unwanted files they want to exclude during installation, like that unnecessary .gdb_history the SSHKeychain developer accidentally included in the package. Yes, I know about Pacifist though Installer needn't obsolete it simply to give a bit more control over developer mistakes.

ERIK.SWANSON  I too am experiencing system freezes whenever I try to launch SSHKeychaon 0.7.1 after installing Security Update 2006-003 on my MacBook Pro.

Installing the "SMC Firmware Update" has not had any effect on however SSHKeychain manages to freeze up the system.

CBX322  Put this into ~/.bash_profile if using the bash shell in Tiger:

SSHAGENT=/usr/bin/ssh-agent

SSHAGENTARGS="-s"

if [ -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" -a -x "$SSHAGENT" ]; then

eval `$SSHAGENT $SSHAGENTARGS`

trap "kill $SSH_AGENT_PID" 0

fi

Then start a new shell and type:

ssh-add

You are prompted for the password of your ssh-keys.

See: http://mah.everybody.org/docs/ssh

for further information.

ANONYMOUS  Had to drop back to 0.6.1.

0.7 crashes on startup. 0.7.1 displays blank panes on preferences. Are you doing something silly like using webkit for the preferences?

***½.

ANONYMOUS  Crashes randomly.

Interferes with screen saver / screen lock.

(Makes it impossible to unlock the screen after

screen saver kicks in and interferes with

outside ssh connections.)

The crashes happened before 0.7, too. The

login interference is new.

DMESS0R  This SSH agent is one of the most useful agents I have ever used. Due to its ability to manage global environment variables, each new shell created may be spawned with the corrent environment variables pointing to the agent. Another incredibly useful option is the integration with the apple keychain. This application should be on any OSX user's "must have" list.

NATHAN  Excellent! I have dozens of SSH keys on my keychain and managing them has become a *real* pain. This program makes key management easy, has never crashed, and has never corrupted any of my keys. I love this program, and would *gladly* pay for it. Please, keep up the excellent work!
