+.Nd adds identities for the authentication agent
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm ssh-add
+.Op Fl ldD
+.Op Ar
+.Sh DESCRIPTION 
+.Nm
+adds identities to the authentication agent,
+.Xr ssh-agent 1 .
+When run without arguments, it adds the file
+.Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity .
+Alternative file names can be given on the
+command line.  If any file requires a passphrase,
+.Nm
+asks for the passphrase from the user. 
+The Passphrase it is read from the user's tty.  
+.Pp
+The authentication agent must be running and must be an ancestor of
+the current process for
+.Nm
+to work.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl l
+Lists all identities currently represented by the agent.
+.It Fl d
+Instead of adding the identity, removes the identity from the agent.
+.It Fl D
+Deletes all identities from the agent.
+.El
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity
+Contains the RSA authentication identity of the user.  This file
+should not be readable by anyone but the user.
+Note that
+.Nm
+ignores this file if it is accessible by others.
+It is possible to
+specify a passphrase when generating the key; that passphrase will be
+used to encrypt the private part of this file.  This is the
+default file added by
+.Nm
+when no other files have been specified.
+.Pp
+If
+.Nm
+needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current
+terminal if it was run from a terminal.  If
+.Nm
+does not have a terminal associated with it but
+.Ev DISPLAY
+is set, it
+will open an X11 window to read the passphrase.  This is particularly
+useful when calling
+.Nm
+from a
+.Pa .Xsession
+or related script.  (Note that on some machines it
+may be necessary to redirect the input from
+.Pa /dev/null
+to make this work.)

+.Pp
+OpenSSH
+is a derivative of the original (free) ssh 1.2.12 release, but with bugs
+removed and newer features re-added.   Rapidly after the 1.2.12 release,
+newer versions bore successively more restrictive licenses.  This version
+of OpenSSH
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+has all components of a restrictive nature (ie. patents, see
+.Xr ssl 8 )
+directly removed from the source code; any licensed or patented components
+are chosen from
+external libraries.
+.It
+has been updated to support ssh protocol 1.5.
+.It
+contains added support for 
+.Xr kerberos 8
+authentication and ticket passing.
+.It
+supports one-time password authentication with
+.Xr skey 1 .
+.El
+.Pp
+The libraries described in
+.Xr ssl 8
+are required for proper operation.
