I've been giving SSH_ASKPASS a hard look, and it's not clear to me how it's supposed to work. The documentation (ssh.1) seems explicit enough: SSH_ASKPASS If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh does not have a terminal associ...

...x (i386), for passwords and RSA/DSA key passphrases. I cannot easily test whether the Right Thing will happen for skey challenge responses; I would appreciate it if someone who uses skey would apply this patch and see if it works properly. In the process of making this patch, I fixed a bug in the ssh_askpass() function (it assumed the string read from the pipe to ssh-askpass would always contain a trailing newline, which is a false assumption). Also, the ssh2_try_passwd() function appears to be broken, in that it contains partial logic to prompt for the correct password multiple times, but the flow of...

...e at openssh.com indicated the general discussion list is for support, I thought this list would be a better place to discuss this. Please forgive me if I've committed a faux pas. I propose that the ssh command-line client be changed so that it will use whatever program is specified in the SSH_ASKPASS environment variable regardless of whether ssh has a terminal associated with it or not. In order for this to work, SSH_ASKPASS would need to contain the full path to a program that prompts for a password, DISPLAY would also need to be set, and some additional environment variable would need t...

Hi all, I have a script which calls ssh-add at a certain point, and I'm getting the following error: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory I don't see why it's doing this, since SSH_ASKPASS isn't set, and there should be a working terminal: SSH_ASKPASS If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if...

Hi everybody, I have asked a question a long time ago regarding SSH_ASKPASS, but with the latest version of OpenSSH I am not able to get the desired result. My goal is to launch a script on a remote server via SSH without having to type a password, because it is locally executed from a script. This should not be too complicated, but somehow I am not able to figure this ou...

Hi, I'm looking at integrating sftp into a larger project. It would be nice if there was a way to force read_passphrase() (in readpass.c) to use SSH_ASKPASS regardless of the properties of the terminal. This would be easy enough to do, an environment variable or a new flag definition would achieve this (I'm using an environment variable for convenience at the moment). Would anyone be interested in receiving a patch for this? If so, which appo...

Dear list, I have set up SSH with the SSH_ASKPASS and DISPLAY variable set. Everything works perfectly. When ssh is used without a tty, the askpass program is executed, providing the password. But when I change the location of the askpass program, so it contains a space in the absolute path name (for example "c:\My Documents\askpass")...

The included patch adds a new option to the ssh client: -d fd Read the password from file descriptor fd. If you use 0 for fd, the passphrase will be read from stdin. This is basically the same as GPG:s parameter --passphrase-fd. Flames about why this is a bad idea goes into /dev/null. I really need to do this. There are lots of ugly Expect-hacks out there, but I want a more clean

...l. Most applications have some good mechanism for doing this (vncviewer, rdesktop, smbclient, etc); it's just crazy that OpenSSH doesn't. Personally, I prefer a new option instead of SSH_ALWAYS_ASKPASS, but that is no big issue. I also think that the host key confirmation should not use SSH_ASKPASS, but another variable (for example, SSH_KEY_CONFIRM). The current GUI which requires the user to type "yes" is very un-intuitive. People just don't understand it. The GUI should have a "Yes/No" button dialog instead, just like Putty have. ------- You are receiving this...
