    Well, on my computer, keychain writes a (hostname)-sh file, inside a
    .keychain directory, and not .ssh-agent as I saw in some tutorials. Maybe
    it will give some clues... Here's part of my .bashrc

    -----
    keychain ~/.ssh/id_dsa
    source ~/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh > /dev/null
    -----

    (In my case, the file is called Elderbrain-sh; there's also a
    Elderbrain-csh)
