     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.
