keychain: agent manager for OpenSSH, ssh.com, Sun SSH, and GnuPG

Keychain is a manager for OpenSSH, ssh.com, Sun SSH and GnuPG agents. It
acts as a front-end to the agents, allowing you to easily have one
long-running agent process per system, rather than per login session.
This dramatically reduces the number of times you need to enter your
passphrase from once per new login session to once every time your local
machine is rebooted.

I promote keychain as a very handy tool which offers the nice
possibility to use passphrase protected keys through cronjobs, i.e. for
scheduled, unattended backup jobs.

keychain is made made by Aron Griffis from gentoo.org. He even offers
(s)rpms. I just did small changes to the .spec file.
