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

Damien, Here's a forwarded bug for you. Cheers, Phil. --[[message/rfc822]] Subject: Bug#52414: ssh-add uses ssh-askpass, but ssh doesn't Reply-To: David Huggins-Daines <dhd at plcom.on.ca>, 52414 at bugs.debian.org Resent-From: David Huggins-Daines <dhd at plcom.on.ca> Resent-To: debian-bugs-dist at lists.debian.org Resent-CC: Philip Hands <phil at hands.com>

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

We're developing a security application (http://iscs.sourceforge.net) that uses SSH for out-of-band management. Sometimes we want to use rsa keys and other times we want to use user ids and passwords. We noticed that there was not an OpenSSH API that we could use to pass the user's password and that we could not give it via stdin. We did notice that we could set SSH_ASKPASS and launch

My website has fallen off the web. This is a good time for someone else to take over the code for x11-ssh-askpass, as I've not done anything with it for years. I have the original code somewhere if needed, but I think Debian has mirrored it for some time. -- jim knoble > On Nov 18, 2019, at 01:49, Jakub Jelen <jjelen at redhat.com> wrote: > >> On Mon, 2019-11-18 at 16:19

Hi, When we added U2F support, we also extended the interface used by ssh and ssh-agent to invoke the $SSH_ASKPASS program. Originally, the askpass prompt was used to obtain passphrases for ssh in cases where it was not possible to read them from the terminal. Later it was (ab)used for showing confirmation prompts for each use of any key that was added to the agent using "ssh-add -c".

I've been working on a NetBSD package for openssl-1.2pre12, and I've noticed that Makefile.in installs ssh-askpass in $prefix/lib/ssh ($libdir) instead of $libexecdir/ssh. Since it is an executable, IMHO it should be in the latter spot. In the patch below, I've fixed this, as well as made ASKPASS_PROGRAM used during the install so that it's easier to maintain. Thanks, David ---

I can understand not wanting a configure option for one particular askpass program, but it would be useful to have a general replacement, as in % ./configure

Okay, I'm asking this again. As of 2.2.0p1, the *only* program that knows how to invoke ssh-askpass is ssh-add. Not ssh itself, nor scp understand how to invoke ssh-askpass. This is a direct contrast to ssh-1.2.27, in which all clients know how to invoke ssh-askpass. My question: is the limitation that only ssh-add knows how to invoke ssh-askpass intentional (i.e., a deliberate design
