 I don't think that's a problem;

bartender [0]  ssh-add ~/.ssh/identity ~/.ssh/id_dsa
Identity added: /home/john/.ssh/identity
(john at bean.internal.antefacto.com)
Identity added: /home/john/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/john/.ssh/id_dsa)

 I'm still wondering what's supposed to happen. Does it save the
passphrase in ~/.ssh somewhere, so that I can see what's happening ?
