We have different man pages. I'm running openssh 2.3.0p1 that ships with SuSE 7.1. My man page looks like this:
SSH-AGENT(1) System Reference Manual SSH-AGENT(1)

SYNOPSIS ssh-agent [-c | -s] [-k] [command [args ...]]
I am still culpable of lameness, however. For later it says:
'Evalled' to my ears sounds like the name of a kingdom from a Swords and Scorcery novel. What is so blasphemous about including a few usage examples in man pages?
from /usr/share/doc/packages/openssh/README.SuSE The OpenSSH handling of ssh-add/ssh-askpass is solved differently then for the ssh-2.x version. You don't need to call ssh-askpass any longer. If ssh-add is called and doesn't have a real TTY, it will launch /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass itself. Make sure that the DISPLAY variable is always set correctly. A good way to start ssh-add if you always use a graphical login is to add the following lines to .xinitrc: eval `ssh-agent` ssh-add HTH -- Togan Muftuoglu
