[Developers] sshkeychain and 10.4.9?

Hi,
   Just a quick note that sshkeychain has stopped working for me  
under MacOS 10.4.9 (well, it stopped working at the time I updated -  
I don't know if that is causal or just a random correlation).  I  
traced the problem to that fact that sshkeychain no longer seems to  
be managing global environment variables for me.  That means it  
cannot set SSH_AUTH_SOCK and then it can't work :).

Setting SSH_AUTH_SOCK, if it isn't already set, in a login-script  
(~/.zshenv), with .e.g:

export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=${SSH_AUTH_SOCK:-/tmp/${UID}/SSHKeychain.socket}

solves the issue for me.

Be well,

Will           :-}
