SSH AgentSSH Agent is a front end to ssh-agent for Mac OS X.

This program does exactly what it’s supposed to do, but it doesn’t have the features that SSHKeyChain has. If SSHKeychain didn’t have problems with password protecting your screen saver, I’d use that. Until that gets fixed, this program gets the job done.


SSHKeychainSSHKeychain is a GUI interface to ssh-agent for Mac OS X.

This application is the best of its kind with many security features, including: locking the keychain when the computer goes to screensaver or goes to sleep.

I would use this program instead of SSH Agent, but it has a problem recovering from when the screensaver or going to sleep requires a password. If you don’t require a password on your screensaver or waking from sleep, this app is for you!


OpenSSH 4.0 was released today!

See my SSH section for more info.


ssh-lI’ve finally gotten sick of Mailman. There are so many issues with (at least on MY OpenBSD box) subscriptions. And, with the recent security issue found, I thought I’d switch to .

Also, I figured if Majordomo was good enough for the OpenBSD lists, it’s good enough for my server running OpenBSD, right? (more…)


CygwinI no longer host any documentation for setting up Cygwin or SSH on Windows.

I didn’t have the time or the need to keep the documentation up to date.

Additionally, too many people were reading my site and then, instead of using the ssh list I set up, people were asking questions about my documentation on the Cygwin mailing lists. As you can imagine, this didn’t make the Cygwin maintainers happy.

Besides, when I originally set up this site, SSH+Windows documentation was sparse at best. So, I journaled my experiences. Now, with Cygwin (and it’s been this way for years), it just works. Install it and go.

If you have any questions about ssh, join and use my ssh mailing list.
