Hi. Apple have a bunch of patches to openssh that they have folded  
into the version that's shipped with MacOSX. Some of these are very  
convenient: like automagically starting an ssh-agent at login/boot  
time and the ability to have SSH passphrases stored and fetched from  
the Keychain. It would be nice if these could be considered for  
rolling in to a future release of openssh.

FWIW the patches are at http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.6/OpenSSH-95.1.5/patches 
. As far as I'm aware they're open source and not encumbered by  
licensing nasties.
