Trouble using ssh-agent from macports

[Jeremy Lavergne]

Historically the issue I've run into is mixing Apple's and MacPorts' SSH with keychain. That is, after installing MacPorts' SSH the agent never talks to keychain because you need to run Apple's for that. Once the key is in there, then the MacPorts one can use it---something convoluted like that.

It's that annoying once-per-setup type of thing.
