Bug Description

id_rsa is only private key considered. id_dsa and id_ecdsa should also be considered

This is reasonable, thanks. If you use an agent, then it should report these with "ssh-add -L" and so this whould already work, right?

Would it be sufficient to just try the agent, then fall back through each of id_rsa.pub, id_dsa.pub and id_ecdsa.pub until one is found, and then use that? Or should I attempt to concatenate all three or something?

IMO, yes, trying the agent and then falling back makes good sense. I always have 2-4 keys in my agent, and the default of taking first key from agent makes sense.
