Bug#294291: ssh-add program help has incorrect command line described



Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4
Severity: minor

The man page for ssh-add says:

ssh-add [-lLdDxXc] [-t life] [file ...]

Runnign $ssh-add -? gives:
ssh-add: illegal option -- ?
Usage: ssh-add [options]
Options:
 ...(and continues with options).

The usage should mention that you can specify files for public keys
without any option.
eg
$ssh-add .ssh/id_dsa
