           Summary: ssh-add gives annoying messages for non-exsisting keys
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.1p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh-agent
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: cagri at ripe.net


It is a totally cosmetic thing but, ssh-add of 3.1p1 gives the following
messages when keys are not explicitly listed in the cmd line.

---------------------------
penguin:~$ ssh-add
/home/cagri/.ssh/id_rsa: No such file or directory
/home/cagri/.ssh/id_dsa: No such file or directory
Enter passphrase for cagri at penguin: 
---------------------------

everything is fine & working, however these messages could be misleading
for ignorant users. I think it would be a good idea to give some messages
which does not look like an "error message" or even no message at all.

I've tested it on linux x86, I do not think it depends on OS or architecture.
Regards.
