2000-05-07 02:03:14 +00:00
adds RSA identities to the authentication agent,
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
.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,
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
.Nm
asks for the passphrase from the user.
The Passphrase it is read from the user's tty.
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
.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 fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent.
.It Fl L
Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent.
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
.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
.It Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity
Contains the RSA authentication identity of the user.
This file should not be readable by anyone but the user.
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
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
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
.Nm
when no other files have been specified.
.Pp
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ev "DISPLAY" and "SSH_ASKPASS"
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
If
.Nm
needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current
terminal if it was run from a terminal.
If
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
.Nm
does not have a terminal associated with it but
.Ev DISPLAY
and
.Ev SSH_ASKPASS
are set, it will execute the program specified by
.Ev SSH_ASKPASS
and open an X11 window to read the passphrase.
This is particularly useful when calling
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
.Nm
from a
.Pa .Xsession
or related script.
(Note that on some machines it
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
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
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
.Bl -bullet
.It
has all components of a restrictive nature (i.e., patents)
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
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
1999-10-28 23:15:49 +00:00
.Xr kerberos 8
authentication and ticket passing.
.It
supports one-time password authentication with
.Xr skey 1 .
