ssh-add -s reader
ssh-add -e reader
DESCRIPTION
ssh-add adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent,
ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it adds the file
$HOME/.ssh/identity. Alternative file names can be given on the command
line. If any file requires a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase
from the user. The passphrase is read from the user's tty. ssh-add
retries the last passphrase if multiple identity files are given.
The authentication agent must be running and must be an ancestor of the
current process for ssh-add to work.
The options are as follows:
-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the
agent.
-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently repre-
sented by the agent.
-d Instead of adding the identity, removes the identity from the
agent.
-D Deletes all identities from the agent.
-s reader
Add key in smartcard reader.
-e reader
Remove key in smartcard reader.
FILES
$HOME/.ssh/identity
Contains the protocol version 1 RSA authentication identity of
the user. This file should not be readable by anyone but the
user. Note that ssh-add 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 ssh-add when no
other files have been specified.
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
Contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity of
the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
Contains the protocol version 2 RSA authentication identity of
the user.
ENVIRONMENT
