similar to: Force reading with SSH_ASKPASS?

The patch below fixes a compile-time warning in readpass.c.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hello, With the introduction of SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE in version 8.4, I've set up a script for SSH_ASKPASS to query my local passwordstore (https://www.passwordstore.org/) vault to retrieve the password for a given key. This works for ssh-add as well as ssh (configured with AddKeysToAgent set to 'yes'). My workflow effectively transforms into entering the password for the GPG key used

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

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.

Hi, I had developed a program which spawns a shell where i am trying to use ssh commands to log into a linux server. There is a pop up dialog window which is prompting me for key-ing the password. Actually i want to get rid of this pop up dialog box, as i don't want this to be visible in my program/code execution. Could you please let me know is there any way to resolve and stop this
