Hi,

  If I setup keychain to run in .bashrc on a client machine with:

/usr/local/bin/keychain ~/.ssh/id_dsa
source ~/.ssh-agent-harriet.ozma.union.utexas.edu > /dev/null

Should it still be possible to use scp to copy files from a server back to
a client? When I try it, scp instead displays the keychain startup
message:

lara:~$ scp file busterb@server:~/
root@ooga.union.utexas.edu's password:

KeyChain 1.9; http://www.gentoo.org/projects/keychain
lara:~$

I have a pair of servers. One is a backup that uses rsync with the ssh
transport to synchronize nightly with the primary one via a cron job. I
use keychain on the backup server so that the cron job will not require a
password and run automatically. However, I cannot transfer files while
logged into the primary to the backup when keychain running from .bashrc.
Is this a problem with the setup or keychain?
