I've been trying to follow this guide, but I am unable to login without being asked for my key's password... any ideas on how to make SSHKeychain manage the keys? One things I did notice is that nothing shows up referencing the created keys anywhere in the GUI for SSHKeychain... Looking forward to hearing from you and thanks for the tutorial! Hi!

I did also hear that active development had ceased on Unison, although that might just reflect the fact that the tool already does what it needs to. The one thing in rsync's favour is that it at least ships out of the box with most *NIX distros and even cygwin.

SSHKeyChain was exactly what I needed to set up my ssh tunnels and made using Unison on a cron job much simpler. By the way, cron isn't dead, it's just sleeping. :) http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cron_is_not_dead_in_tiger By the way, you should look at Unison too. It's what I'm using for backups and synchronization, but as I haven't used rsync in a long time, I don't know exactly what the differences are. http://sourceforge.net/projects/unison Thanks, Sam!
