I need something like keychain so I can download some backups via cron.
I saw gnome-keychain in the repository...but I'm not using gnome....not sure if that will work or not.

Without going into more detail about your goals, it is difficult to give advice.
Why not just use scp with keys?

Basically, I'm trying to automate downloading some backup files from a website that I manage.
I am using keys, but I've set a password on the key per the security guidance I've read on the subject...so I'm still prompted to enter the password for the key. From what I understand, keychain would handle the password request for me assuming I had authenticated before the cron job ran, which would allow it to be fully automated.
