ssh-multiadd(1) General Commands Manual ssh-multiadd(1) NAME ssh-multiadd - ssh-add multiple ssh keys with the same passphrase(s) to ssh-agent SYNOPSIS ssh-multiadd [opts] [keyfiles] DESCRIPTION Add multiple ssh keys that may use the same passphrase(s) to the ssh au- thentication agent. When run without arguments, it adds $HOME/.ssh/iden- tity and $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa. Alternative file names can be given on the command line or specified in the configuration file. Uses ssh-askpass if necessary. The files need not use the same passphrase, ssh-multiadd will try all entered passwords against each key, so any number of keys may share passphrases without having to reenter them. OPTIONS -a auto|yes|no Specifies when to use ssh-askpass program instead of reading from terminal. auto (the default) means to only use ssh-askpass when stdin is not a tty. yes always uses ssh-askpass, and no never does. -A <path> Program to use instead of ssh-askpass. -s <path> Program to use instead of ssh-add. -S <path> Program to use instead of ssh. -d <path> Directory to look for keyfiles that do not have an absolute path. -f Force all keys to be added, don't check if they are already loaded. (equivalent to sshgetfingerprint=None in rc file) -l When done, call "ssh-add -l" to list all identities represented by the agent. -L Before and after running, call "ssh-add -l", then lists differences in represented identities. --nolist Don't list any identities when done. In other words, disable -l or -L. -h/--help Print help info. --version Print unadorned version. --debugEnable printing of debug messages. Note that it is possible in some circumstances that passphrases may appear in the output, so exercise caution if using this option. CONFIGURATION The file ~/.ssh-multiadd.rc.py may be created to change the default op- tions. The following are the recognized variables (and what option(s) they correspond to): keys A list (or tuple) of files to add if none are specified on the com- mand line. ex: keys = ('identity', 'identity2', 'id_dsa') ssh (-S) A string containing the path to the ssh executable. (Used to get ssh version for setting sshgetfingerprint if it is not specified) ex: ssh = '/usr/local/bin/ssh' sshadd (-a) A string containing the path to the ssh-add executable. ex: sshadd = '/usr/local/bin/ssh-add' sshaskpass (-A) A string containing the path to the ssh-askpass executable. ex: sshaskpass = '/usr/local/bin/x11-ssh-askpass' sshdir (-d) A string containing the path to the dir in which to look for key files. ex: sshdir = os.path.expanduser('~/.ssh2') sshgetfingerprint A tuple containing (command to print fingerprint, regex to extract finger print from output). If not specified or set to -1, the ver- sion from ssh -V will be checked and known values will be used. Set to None to disable fingerprint checking. ex: sshgetfingerprint = ('/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -l -f "%s"', '(\S+\s+\S+)') useaskpass (-a) A string, either 'yes', 'no', or 'auto'. ex: useaskpass = 'no' verbose (--debug) An int specifying verbosity level. ex: verbose = 1 listidentities (-l, -L, --nolist) An int specifying whether to list identities at exit. (0=--nolist, 1=-l, 2=-L) ex: listidentities = 2 FILES $HOME/.ssh/identity and $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa Default key files to add. $HOME/.ssh-multiadd.rc.py Optional configuration file. ENVIRONMENT SSH_ASKPASS If specified and not overridden with -A, program to use instead of ssh-askpass.
