Spotted cat chokes on blowfish...

Guess what? It doesn't install on Leopard. :-)

Fresh Leopard install, the installer fails on postinstall. All we get
in the logs is:

27/10/2007 22:10:16 Installer[1053] The following install step failed:
run postinstall script for SSHKeychain. Contact the software
manufacturer for assistance.

Actually, that's not quite true. Complete current content of /var/log/
install.log:

Excellent. Maybe this is a good excuse to release an updated version with a
drag and drop installer. :)

Eeexcept, I since found out that Leopard seems to do its own. Once you
have keys installed in your ~/.ssh, the next time you try to ssh
somewhere (from the commandline in my case) it opens a dialogue box for
the password and offers to put it in the keyring, which it does.
Thereafter, all the ssh-agent stuff seems to work, for gui apps (like
scplugin with an svn+ssh repo url) as well as at the terminal.

So, it looks like it might have been obsoleted by Leopard. :-)

There's probably an even more straightforward way, including making
keyring manager create new ssh keys, but if there is I missed it, as I
was beelining for the SSHKeychain approach I'd used in Tiger. :-)

(I guess our brains must be too highly trained, Majikthise.)
