Hi,
I just realized that the help message of "ssh-add -h" is incomplete:
# ssh-add -h
ssh-add: illegal option -- h
Usage: ssh-add [options]
Options:
-l List fingerprints of all identities.
-L List public key parameters of all identities.
-d Delete identity.
-D Delete all identities.
-x Lock agent.
-X Unlock agent.
-t life Set lifetime (in seconds) when adding identities.
The manual page says:
SYNOPSIS
ssh-add [-lLdDxX] [-t life] [file ...]
ssh-add -s reader
ssh-add -e reader
Most important, ssh-add -h does not tell you that you may pass an identity
file as argument.
Regards,
Ulrich
