9 Seriously, did you try running ssh-add without arguments? Acrroding to
10 the man, "When run without arguments, it adds the files ~/.ssh/id_rsa,
11 ~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/identity".
12
13 It wors for me with an RSA key, anyway:
14
15 $ ls .ssh/
16 id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts
17 $ eval $(ssh-agent)
18 Agent pid 22390
19 $ ssh-add .ssh/id_rsa
20 Identity added: .ssh/id_rsa (.ssh/id_rsa)
21
22 Did you try generating a new RSA key (just to see if it can be added)?
