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 authentication agent. When run without arguments, it adds $HOME/.ssh/identity 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 differ- ences 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. --debug Enable 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 command 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 speci- fied) 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 ex- tract finger print from output). If not specified or set to -1, the version 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=--no- list, 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.
