21 | .Nm ssh-add | ||
22 | .Op Fl lLdD | ||

24 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
25 | .Nm | ||
26 | adds identities to the authentication agent, | ||
27 | .Xr ssh-agent 1 . | ||
28 | When run without arguments, it adds the file | ||
29 | .Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity . | ||
30 | Alternative file names can be given on the | ||
31 | command line. If any file requires a passphrase, | ||
32 | .Nm | ||
33 | asks for the passphrase from the user. | ||
34 | The Passphrase it is read from the user's tty. | ||
35 | .Pp | ||
36 | The authentication agent must be running and must be an ancestor of | ||
37 | the current process for | ||
38 | .Nm | ||
39 | to work. | ||
40 | .Pp | ||
41 | The options are as follows: | ||
42 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | ||
43 | .It Fl l | ||
44 | Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent. | ||
45 | .It Fl L | ||
46 | Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent. | ||
47 | .It Fl d | ||
48 | Instead of adding the identity, removes the identity from the agent. | ||
49 | .It Fl D | ||
50 | Deletes all identities from the agent. | ||
51 | .El | ||
52 | .Sh FILES | ||
53 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | ||
54 | .It Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity | ||
55 | Contains the RSA authentication identity of the user. This file | ||
56 | should not be readable by anyone but the user. | ||
57 | Note that | ||
58 | .Nm | ||
59 | ignores this file if it is accessible by others. | ||
60 | It is possible to | ||
61 | specify a passphrase when generating the key; that passphrase will be | ||
62 | used to encrypt the private part of this file. This is the | ||
63 | default file added by | ||
64 | .Nm | ||
65 | when no other files have been specified. | ||
66 | .Pp | ||
67 | .Sh ENVIRONMENT | ||
68 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | ||
69 | .It Ev "DISPLAY" and "SSH_ASKPASS" | ||
70 | If | ||
71 | .Nm | ||
72 | needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current | ||
73 | terminal if it was run from a terminal. If | ||
74 | .Nm | ||
75 | does not have a terminal associated with it but | ||
76 | .Ev DISPLAY | ||
77 | and | ||
78 | .Ev SSH_ASKPASS | ||
79 | are set, it will execute the program specified by | ||
80 | .Ev SSH_ASKPASS | ||
81 | and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particularly | ||
82 | useful when calling | ||
83 | .Nm | ||
84 | from a | ||
85 | .Pa .Xsession | ||
86 | or related script. (Note that on some machines it | ||
87 | may be necessary to redirect the input from | ||
88 | .Pa /dev/null | ||
89 | to make this work.) | ||

93 | OpenSSH | ||
94 | is a derivative of the original (free) ssh 1.2.12 release, but with bugs | ||
95 | removed and newer features re-added. Rapidly after the 1.2.12 release, | ||
96 | newer versions bore successively more restrictive licenses. This version | ||
97 | of OpenSSH | ||
98 | .Bl -bullet | ||
99 | .It | ||
100 | has all components of a restrictive nature (ie. patents, see | ||
101 | .Xr ssl 8 ) | ||
102 | directly removed from the source code; any licensed or patented components | ||
103 | are chosen from | ||
104 | external libraries. | ||
105 | .It | ||
106 | has been updated to support ssh protocol 1.5. | ||
107 | .It | ||
108 | contains added support for | ||
109 | .Xr kerberos 8 | ||
110 | authentication and ticket passing. | ||
111 | .It | ||
112 | supports one-time password authentication with | ||
113 | .Xr skey 1 . | ||
114 | .El | ||
115 | .Pp | ||
116 | The libraries described in | ||
117 | .Xr ssl 8 | ||
118 | are required for proper operation. | ||
