I think it makes sense regarding ease of use, to have a mechanism which
allows the user to opt-in keychaining easily. Thanks for that suggestion
Chip, Ed and Ville.

I kindly request to review following bah script:

http://www.uni-x.org/keychain.sh.txt

I plan to let the keychain rpm place keychain.{sh,csh} - csh needs to be
done (help would be welcome as I am a bash user) - into /etc/profile.d/.
It will then create a ~/.keychainrc file if none exists already. The
user is able to adjust keychain behaviour through that file then.

Any kind of critics and of course corrections are welcome.

Alexander
