i don't like the idea of parsing ssh_config in ssh-add.

-current ssh-add tries to load all 3 default key.
that's enough for the default.

it's easy to add more keys on the command line.

Markus,

One reason we want this is so that we can specify non-standard
locations for identity files for app accounts that run daemons,
things from cron, etc...

It's a small patch and not at all far-fetched.

I just ran smack into the MaxStartups option. How did that
bug^H^H^Hfeature ever get in anyways.

I take this back, I get the point of that feature. I ran
into it stress-testing OpenSSH.

/usr/bin/ssh is the only program that should read ssh_config.

passing non-default keys to ssh-add is easy with the current
version of ssh-add.

of course we could have options and defaults for all kinds of
uses, but openssh is already very fat.
