PAC Manager (PAC for short) is an ssh GUI for Linux that manages multiple session and has some handy features for clusters of Linux/Unix systems. The only place I have found it is from SourceForge.net (looks like it is finally back on-line, 3 days down, a bummer) at least from a Fedora fan's perspective.
Anyway, I have not used this app because I was not able to figure out how to use public ssh keys that I already have set up with command line ssh on Linux. I finally did some Google search and was able to locate a post that described how to pass the public key on a remote host connection (sorry, I did not save the URL).
Here is a screenshot that shows where in the PAC GUI the public key file name is specified. I have not checked but I would hope someone has made a request to add a separate field to specify the key file name (maybe it is already there, maybe I missed it).
The tricky part was using IdentityFile= instead of identity_file=. The ssh documentation uses the latter.
