Hello, On my home PC, whch runs openssh with Jim Knoble's x11-ssh-askpass, I have configured my Bash shell login script to prompt me for the passphrase. No problem, however it waits during the login process for me to 'do something' - i.e. enter a passphrase, cancel it or whatever. Is it possible to set a timeout so that if, say, nothing occurs within a minute then it assumes no passphrase and the login continues? Thanks, John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: jhorne at plymouth.ac.uk PGP key available from public key servers

Unfortunately, just made a new release last night and may not have time to do anything else on it for the next week or so. If i don't speak up about it in 7-10 days, send me a ping to remind me. -- jim knoble | jmknoble at jmknoble.cx | http://www.jmknoble.cx/
