similar to: [David Huggins-Daines <dhd@plcom.on.ca>] Bug#52414: ssh-add uses ssh-askpass, but ssh doesn't

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 associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute

Moin, attached is a patch, which adds a new configuration option "PreferAskpass" to the ssh config. ssh{,-add,-keygen,-agent} will use ssh-askpass to prompt for passwords, if this option is set to "yes", and if ssh-askpass is available. Default for "PreferAskpass" is "no". Pacth is against current CVS. Sebastian -- signature intentionally left blank.

Enclosed is a patch against 2.2.0p1 that teaches ssh (and therefore slogin and scp) how to invoke ssh-askpass to request a password, RSA/DSA key passphrase, or an skey challenge response. I've tested this on Linux (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

Hello, OpenSSH Developers! I'm not a member of the OpenSSH development team or a member of this mailing list. I have a small change to propose for OpenSSH and since the mailing list page 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

I would like to use ssh-add to unlock a key with a password provided through a web interface. It seems even though ssh-add calls read_passphrase with RP_ALLOW_STDIN at ssh-add.c:173, stdin is not used as a last resort without a valid terminal or display. Is it an intended behaviour ? And if so, what are the security implications of using popen() to write the password to ssh-add (not using echo

I have some identical windows 7 clients. All connected to Samba 3.5.4-1.1-2382-SUSE-SL11.0. If I'm the windows-owner of the file, swat shows me under "oplock" "exclusive+batch". Other users get: "none". What is the reason for this? ___________________________________________________________ Neu: WEB.DE De-Mail - Einfach wie E-Mail, sicher wie ein Brief! Jetzt

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

Howdy, It seems that as of 1.2pre15, ssh-add no longer looks for ssh-askpass in the usual place. (I noticed this both in the source code, ssh-add.c, and to some degree in the ChangeLog.) If you're like me and keep ssh-add in your Autostart folder in KDE, chances are upgrading to 1.2pre15 will result in no longer getting the nice Gnome widget we've come to know and love when

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 out myself. I have
