SSH Agent is aanbeland bij versie 1.1. Dit programma is een GUI voor de bij Mac OS X geleverde OpenSSH tools. Zo laat het je de ssh-agent starten, kunnen identities worden aangemaakt en kunnen identities aan agents worden toegevoegd. Daarnaast kan de ssh-agent globaal worden gemaakt, zodat bijvoorbeeld Xcode kan worden gebruikt voor versiecontrole en is er functionaliteit aanwezig om een secure tunnel op te zetten. De release notes van versie 1.1 laten zich als volgt weglezen:
Main changesOther changes
- Conceptually, SSH Agent has changed from a window on the ssh-agent process to a ssh identity manager. This has the following consequences:
- ssh identities are no longer treated as documents. Instead, SSH Agent's main window is a view on the identities in your .ssh directory.
- Instead of adding identities to the agent, the interface let's you activate identities. Identities can be flagged as Default, and the preferences lets you add the Default identities when the application is launched.
- There is an Agent Inspector which shows the details of the ssh-agent process. (It also allows you to detach the application from the process, allowing faceless operation.)
Missing, incomplete, or broken
- Different preferences format. If you're only trying out 1.1 make sure you backup your nl.uu.phil.* preferences.
- Eye candy: An animated bubble showing the number of active identities and more beautiful icons. (Thanks Gerti!)
[break]
- The keychain interaction might be broken.
- The version checking code is incomplete.
- No documentation, except this page.
- No source package yet.
- No internationalization.
