 through the Terminal with the {{{ ssh }}} command with a server that has
 your public key, you are asked with a secure Cocoa dialog (not prompt) to
 "Enter your password for the SSH Key 'id_rsa'." (if that is the name where
 your private key resides), with the option to "Save password in Keychain".
 If one ticks that, on a subsequent connection {{{ ssh-agent }}} will ask
 to have access to the keychain where the password for the private key
 resides in order to be able to open the connection with that private key
 without prompting for its password.

 software such as SSHKeychain.

 private key in the Keychain, and asked me for access to it, instead of
 asking the password to my private key (just as a note, Transmit 4 does).

 ''Terminal.app'' here.

 OpenSSH interoperability in r9103.
