similar to: [Bug 81] New: ssh cannot use ssh-askspass & passphrases as documented

Hello, I need to allow for some people to execute ssh with one shared private key for remote executing command on various machines. However, it is not possible to set group permissions for private keys and it is possible to have just one private key file for one user. Please, is it possible to add patches into openssh development tree like these, so that standard behavior of ssh is not changed,

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

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

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.

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

Remove sshkey_load_private(), as this function's role is similar to sshkey_load_private_type(). --- Dependency: This change depends over recently merged change in openbsd: https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/b0c328c8f066f6689874bef7f338179145ce58d0 Change log: v1->v2 - Remove declaration of sshkey_load_private() in authfile.h authfile.c | 38

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

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

My keys are secured with a passphrase. That's good for security, but having to type the passphrase either at every login or at every invocation of ssh(1) is annoying. I know I could invoke ssh-add(1) just before invoking ssh(1), if I keep track of whether I invoked it already, or write some hacky scripts; but the rest of OpenSSH is wonderfully usable without any hacks. Hence, this patch.

Add private key protection information extraction to shh-keygen using -v option on top of -y option which is already parsing the private key. Technically, the passphrase isn't necessary to do this, but it is the most logical thing to do for me. Adding this to -l option is not appropriate because fingerprinting is using the .pub file when available. An other idea is to add a new option, I

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

Hi, We do a lot of automated file transfers with SFTP, and found this small patch very helpful. The main effect is to tell the underlying SSH client that it's operating in batch mode.

I tried replacing readpassphrase() for v2.9.9p2 on Sol8 with a different version that just calls getpassphrase(). It appears to solve the echo problem when the user tries to login in interactive mode and needs to change their password. Can anyone else try this with v2.9.9p2 on Solaris? Be sure to add: #define HAVE_GETPASSPHRASE ... to config.h when compiling (since it's not a configurable

I just wrote an email describing problems linking to libkafs in openssh 3/daily snap shot as of today, but I think I forgot to describe what the problem was- well first it says 'cannot find file or directory' on -lkafs, for some reason it wasnt reading the directory even though- even though i added the correct dir to ld.so.conf (linux) so I cp'd the files to another directory where I
