no, you are not. but ssh-add did not add the keys before.
should a default behaviour be changed?
apart from that, i don't like 'ssh-add' having default
arguments. people forget where the private keys can be
found if 'ssh-add' acts 'smart'. keys should always be
explicit since they are important. but i could be wrong.
