Re: [Sshkeychain-developers] packaging question: ssh?

[Bart M. <ba...@dr...>]

I'm not quite sure about dropping Panther support. I could imagine  
that one of the reasons
you want to use SSHKeychain could be that you're working on an older  
system, with no
built-in ssh-agent support. Not that this is a valid reason to keep  
Panther support, since
I imagine most OS X users update their stuff :-)

This brings us back to a question that has been asked on this  
mailinglist before: what is
the reason you want to use SSHKeychain on 10.5? It might be the extra  
security features
SSHKeychain has, or the tunnel support, but it sure isn't the basic  
ssh-agent stuff,
since that's already covered.

Personally, I think that we should make the whole 'ssh-agent' part  
optional, so you can choose
to use OS X's built-in implementation (or any other, for that matter)  
if you feel like it, and use
SSHKeychain as a helper application for tunnels and added security.

The tunnel implementation is also very rudimentary at the moment, so  
that should be improved
as well IMHO.

Any thoughts?
