Hi, I had developed a program which spawns a shell where i am trying to use ssh commands to log into a linux server. There is a pop up dialog window which is prompting me for key-ing the password. Actually i want to get rid of this pop up dialog box, as i don't want this to be visible in my program/code execution. Could you please let me know is there any way to resolve and stop this password dialog box - nagging problem. I have tried uninstalling the ssh-askpass-gnome package from my linux box and i am getting the following error. 15:46:04.221 Shell command: ssh abc at kaveri 15:46:04.224 ::com.evolving.adg.util::Shell (::NEComms::shell4)|spawned " abc at kaveri" (3243) 15:46:04.224 Exiting ::NEComms::executeShell 15:46:04.225 exiting SS8VM::connect 15:46:04.292 err channel|RCVD| *"ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass): No such file or directory* 15:46:04.292 err channel|RCVD| "Write failed: Broken pipe By any chance, anybody has encountered a similar issue ? are there any answers/solutions for this problem ? -- Thanks and Regards, Lakshman

Read the ssh(1) man page ("man ssh") and search for "SSH_ASKPASS", so you understand how SSH_ASKPASS works. -- jim knoble | jmknoble at pobox.com | http://www.pobox.com/~jmknoble/ (GnuPG key ID: C6F31FFA >>>>>> http://www.pobox.com/~jmknoble/keys/ ) (GnuPG fingerprint: 99D8:1D89:8C66:08B5:5C34::5527:A543:8C33:C6F3:1FFA) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |[L]iberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is perma-| | nently on a war footing, or even a near-war footing. --Aldous Huxley| +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
