    keychain for ssh-agent management not adding keys...

    I'm working with keychain on Kubuntu 7.04 and amazingly enough I am having a problem that really doesn't make sense. It refuses to add any of my keys, but also doesn't complain about anything. If I mess up the path to the key it complains, so it appears to find the keys but it doesn't do anything about them. I tried with permissions on ~/.ssh as 750 and 700, no difference. I also tried perms of 600 and 640 for the keys as well, no luck. I can manually add keys to ssh-agent, but everything I've read said the following command would work with bash:


    eval `keychain --eval ~/.ssh/id_dsa`

    output with no agent running:
    KeyChain 2.6.6; http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/

    * Initializing /home/mfreitas/.keychain/epidaurus-sh file...
    * Initializing /home/mfreitas/.keychain/epidaurus-csh file...
    * Initializing /home/mfreitas/.keychain/epidaurus-fish file...
    * Starting ssh-agent

    then back at a prompt. I've also tried full path to my keys as well. I feel like I'm missing something completely obvious and stupid, but of course it's a seemingly straightforward script that there isn't much that should go wrong! Any ideas? Thanks.

    I would also be happy to find another app for managing ssh-agent and keys...
Working...
