Comments on: Mac OS X Leopard - Built-in SSH agent http://www.wand.net.nz/~smr26/wordpress/2007/10/28/mac-os-x-leopard-built-in-ssh-agent/ Hardly blogging at all since 2005 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:41:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Luke Redpath http://www.wand.net.nz/~smr26/wordpress/2007/10/28/mac-os-x-leopard-built-in-ssh-agent/comment-page-1/#comment-10511 Luke Redpath Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:36:18 +0000 http://www.wand.net.nz/~smr26/wordpress/2007/10/28/mac-os-x-leopard-built-in-ssh-agent/#comment-10511 Here's another gotcha for people who can't get this working. I was struggling to work out why I could not get this working with a new MacBook (which never had SSHKeychain installed). The reason: I use MacPorts and had ended up installing OpenSSH via MacPorts (it was a dependency of some other lib). This resulted in a standard, non-keychain support build of ssh in /opt/local/bin, which happened to be listed in my $PATH first. Only when I ran "which ssh" did I realize what had happened.
