Description: key manager for OpenSSH
 Keychain is an OpenSSH key manager, typically run from ~/.bash_profile. When 
 keychain is run, it checks for a running ssh-agent, otherwise it starts one.
 It saves the ssh-agent environment variables to ~/.keychain/${HOSTNAME}-sh, 
 so that subsequent logins and non-interactive shells such as cron jobs can 
 source the file and make passwordless ssh connections.  In addition, when 
 keychain runs, it verifies that the key files specified on the command-line 
 are known to ssh-agent, otherwise it loads them, prompting you for a password 
 if necessary.
