Changing ssh-add to use the key chain

[pedz]

Can someone point me to the programming interface of the keychain?

I'm wanting somehow to automatically get an ssh-agent and ssh-add when I log in. Since my keychain would trust me at that point, I thought ssh-add might be able to suck out the password it is looking for from the keychain and save me from typing the password in. The alternative is to keep ssh-add's password in a flat, unencoded file somewhere but that seems rather dangerous to me.

I'm not sure this could help you, but you could try to use SSH Agent and putting it in the startup items.
