Question: Does this work on shared home directories? #115

I'd like to use it on multiple servers / desktops with a shared home directory. Could the shared home dir cause issues with keychain?

Keychain, by default, creates shell files by hostname, which should alleviate any issues on shared home directories. The underlying ssh-agent will only be available on the host where it is started, though, so you could end up with multiple agents across multiple machines lying around.

Thanks for the explanation
