Hi, I have a little spare time around christmas, and I'm thinking about redoing some parts of SSHKeychain, with your help. I'd like to establish a new set of features for the project. I think it would be best to focus on working together with mac's ssh-agent support, adding some security features (like clean agent on sleep, screensaver, etc.), and further improving tunnel support. Any thoughts? Regards, Bart -- Bart Matthaei Ambrero Software B.V. http://www.ambrero.nl/ T: +31 (0)72 5626331 (direct) T: +31 (0)72 5626500 F: +31 (0)72 5626355 |

My two cents are that I, and I expect a lot of other folks, do not need the tunnel support. I just use SSHKeychain to authenticate my regular old SSH logins. So tunnel stuff is great, but hopefully it can be prevented from getting in my way :) Also, I have Mac OS 10.4, and I don't have much experience with Objective C, but I'd like to help out. If you can toss some "easy" tasks my way, that'd be great. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com |

Heh, I'm the opposite. I don't need SSHKeychain to manage my keys, I use it exclusively for the tunnel support. -Kevin Ballard On Oct 30, 2009, at 7:19 AM, Dustin J.

The syntax looks a bit weird to start with - it sort of looks like the bastard offspring of C, SmallTalk and Tcl - but I actually quite like it.

I've read a book or two, and looked over a good bit of the SSHKeyChain code, and I'm sure I could pick it up the language pretty quickly. It's probably the various NSFoo classes that would take me longer to get used to. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com |

Given the two divergent needs, would it make sense to separate the functionality into two separate, but complimentary, applications? The idea would be to allow both applications to develop the strengths, without getting held back the other. One application suite that might be worth looking at for ideas is "Putty", on the MS-Windows side, with its pageant.exe and puttygen.exe tools.

(Don't get me wrong, PuTTY is a fine suite of apps for Windows - and I know Simon Tatham, who wrote it, personally) Personally my model for SSHKeychain use is that I use it: 1) To store passphrases in the Keychain, and manage ssh-agent for me. 2) To start my SSH tunnels (I have three up continuously), although I don't use the GUI to configure forwarded ports and so on, I just configure that stuff in my .ssh/config Now, I realise that (1) can to some extent be done by Mac OS X itself (although I've never actually bothered to use the Mac Way of doing it), but (2) is very useful to me. I don't need to forward any privileged ports, so I don't need a proper installer for SSHKeychain...
