[Sshkeychain-users] problems in Snow Leopard

[Christopher S. <cs...@dt...>]

On 10.6.2, two points.

1.  I have a preference set
	General > Agent Socket Location:	/tmp/502/SSHKeychain.socket

and that is what is in my ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file as well.

But what is actually in my environment in a fresh Terminal.app is this noise:

SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/launch-8ErLPG/Listeners

And so SSHKeychain doesn't work (that is, ssh prompts for the remote password).

This makes it work in that Terminal:

 export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/tmp/502/SSHKeychain.socket"


2. Installation fails.

I think the problem here may simply be privileges, because cutting and pasting the two commands
mentioned by the installer in the post-install script worked OK from a Terminal.   If that was the problem,
maybe there was a security related change to the installer API in the latest OS release.
