[olug] keychain work for anyone?

[Brian Wiese]

So I'm running keychain, but it's not working - doesn't do anything for
me.  Does it work for anyone else?  To my understanding, when keychain is
run - it asks for your passphrase to your private ssh keys, and will keep
you authenticated as it negotiate future ssh sessions for you that ask for
you to authenticate via said public keys.

It does not do this for me, every ssh connection I attempt after running
keychain still asks for my passphrase every time.  See for yourself... 
I'm running the debian package of keychain and host 'liberty' has my
public key in it's 'authorized_keys' file ... thats why my passphrase
login works...
