Why not mention explicitly that you can use id_rsa.pub and id_dsa.pub to add those to your agent? It explicitly mentions identity.pub as a default. Sorry, but I like things spelled out, especially when it's something that I use so infrequently that I've long since forgotten the details of what these commands actually do. Gary
