similar to: two GCC-3.0 warnings

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

Sorry; here's the message I sent with the Keychain Patch yesterday. I didn't realize that the list wouldn't extract the text parts of the message. Enjoy. Hey all, Here's the patch to let SSH store passwords in the Mac OS X Keychain. I don't know whether you guys want to include it or not with the distribution; some people have said that since Keychain is not an open

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

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

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

Hi, when trying to install openssh I get the following errors. Any idea of why? This is on a mac 10.4.10 system, and with the 4.7p1 version. Appreciate any tips.

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

I need ssh-add to fail cleanly if it tries and fails to read a key, rather than prompting the user. I can't seem to figure out how to do that. This is on a Linux 2.6.26 system, running OpenSSH 5.1p1 (as built on debian lenny/sid) First, the things i've tried: * i've unset the DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS environment variables, so no X11-style prompting should happen. * i've

Hi, I'm using openssh 3.9p1, and here is what bothers me. If ssh is executed from an X application, when a password is prompted, ssh manages to grap on to /dev/tty, but then the SIGTTOU is constantly sent to the ssh and that loops the password prompt function infinetely, since it actually gets to the console. Because of Solaris implemenation (I guess), that also gives no cycles to other

Requests first: after a build, "make" always remakes all the .out files; maybe we could add a few dependencies there? And could we possibly have a few more '@if' lines in the Makefile to quiet it down?

Hi, I'm sorry if this has already come up on the list, I did a quick search of the archive and didn't notice it. I noticed IMHO strange behavior in read_passphrase: If readpassphrase returns NULL and sets errno to ENOTTY, then read_passphrase returns an empty passphrase to the caller instead of error, now what happens with password authentication is that if readpassphrase fails every

Dear developpers, I'm using OpenSSH_2.9p1 with prngd on my Sony NEWS-OS 4.2.1R. NEWS-OS 4.x is based on 4.3BSD and lack of many POSIX and ANSI features.

All line number are approximate, but most likely w/in 10 lines of the OpenSSH 1.2.3 tarball. I unpacked the tarball, and did a ./configure;make;make install and now I've had some problems. :-) OK, I've tracked down lots of goofy stuff w/ slack7 and OpenSSH I've got a couple of questions. What is /dev/tty and why does ssh try to open it to read the password instead of stdin?(this cause
