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

This was fixed in OpenSSH 4.4, and thus in Debian openssh 1:4.6p1-1 and
later.

  usage: ssh-add [options] [file ...]

Thanks, and sorry for the delay in responding,
