Description cagri coltekin 2002-03-14 21:44:35 AEDT 
It is a totally cosmetic thing but, ssh-add of 3.1p1 gives the following
messages when keys are not explicitly listed in the cmd line.

---------------------------
penguin:~$ ssh-add
/home/cagri/.ssh/id_rsa: No such file or directory
/home/cagri/.ssh/id_dsa: No such file or directory
Enter passphrase for cagri@penguin: 
---------------------------

everything is fine & working, however these messages could be misleading
for ignorant users. I think it would be a good idea to give some messages
which does not look like an "error message" or even no message at all.

I've tested it on linux x86, I do not think it depends on OS or architecture.
Regards.

This appears to me to be a duplicate of bug #158. Try the second attachment to
that bug (a patch against ssh-add.c) and see if that helps.
Comment 2 cagri coltekin 2002-03-15 01:53:38 AEDT 
Yes, patch for #158 this solves.
Sorry for the duplicate report.

Thanks..
