x11-ssh-askpass version 1.2.0 (code name: Love Me Tender) is now
available from the following locations:
http://www.jmknoble.cx/software/x11-ssh-askpass/
http://www.ntrnet.net/~jmknoble/software/x11-ssh-askpass/
x11-ssh-askpass is a passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH
(www.openssh.com) under the X Window System.
The important changes since version 1.2.0 are as follows:
- Adds the ability to display passphrase prompts with more than one
line (needed for challenge-response authentication types).
Requested by Markus Friedl of the OpenSSH project.
- Fixes minor buglet where the *grabServer resource was actually
setting the value for the *grabPointer resource (does anyone use
either of those? I thought not).
- Now installs in /usr/local/libexec/openssh/, to conform to recent
releases of the portable OpenSSH.
This release of x11-ssh-askpass has received cursory testing. Although
the changes are relatively small and contained, well ... so is knee
surgery, but that doesn't mean the patient can walk right afterward.
Please bludgeon this release severely and send me the corpse. It would
be nice for this to go into the next round of portable OpenSSH RPM
packages.
Cheers.
