by the way, i solved the problem.
SSH protocol 2 does not support RSA anymore, it's now using DSA. however, OpenSSH 2.x.x can speak SSH1.x with clients that are SSH1.x, and then it uses RSA. but whenever i was speaking to clients that are capable of SSH2, OpenSSH would use SSH2 and therefore not know anything about RSA keys.
now i have DSA keys for my hosts and once i updated OpenSSH to 2.3.0, ssh-agent and ssh-add work as expected with RSA and DSA keys, although a bit awkward.
does anyone know how to add both, RSA and DSA identities with only one password query, considering that the passphrases for both keys are identical?
If I'm getting you right, your RSA key should go into your ~/.ssh/authorized_keays file, and DSA key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 directory. I mean your public keys on the server side. Then you use your passphrase only to log in. -Kastus
