>From the source for ssh-add, it uses the private key when adding, and the public key when deleting. I'm guessing on the other Debian machine you have your public key there already?
If "filename" doesn't contain a public key, it will also try to find one inside "filename.pub". (This also happens if no filename is specified and the defaults are automatically used.) Neither of these points are documented in the man pages. -- ssh-add fails to delete valid key file https://launchpad.net/bugs/58162 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
