The INSTALL file in the current distribution has the passphrase request at http://www.ntrnet.net/~jmknoble/software/x11-ssh-askpass/index.html maybe this should be changed to http://www.liquidmeme.net/software/x11-ssh-askpass ?? -- Antonino Iannella Santos Ltd 91 King William St ADELAIDE SA 5000 Ph +618 8224 7712 Fax +618 8224 7577 Mobile +61408 800007 Email antonino.iannella at

Hi, I'm having a real difficulty here, and I'll keep this very short; ask for needed details. I've got two nearly identically configured RedHat 8 systems, call them A and B. I've generated keys with passphrases on both, added the public key for B to ~/.ssh/authorized_hosts on A and vice versa. On either machine, I can use ssh-agent with no problems. In particular, if I run

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

summary: I have a situation in which a private RSA key has been corrupted, but it's still possible to log into a SSH server using that file. This is with OpenSSH 3.6.1p2 Debian. I have a SSH public/private key pair generated with "ssh-keygen -t rsa". I can use the private key to successfully log into a SSH server which has the public key in it's the authorized_keys file. I

I would like to put a patch in OpenSSH start lbxproxy on the server if both ends of the connection support LBX. I'm having difficulty figuring out where to put this code, specifically I can't seem to find where the X11 handshaking happens. Could someone help me out on this?? -Carl

I've got RedHat 7.1 and when I downloaded the SRPM for openssh-2.9p2-1.src.rpm and tried to rpm --recompile it bombed. Here's the error message that it generated: + pushd x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0 /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0 /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2 + xmkmf -a imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config make Makefiles Makefile:1052: *** target

Greetings - I don't think this is a bug; just something I don't understand. I'm using RedHat Linux v7.0 with an i686 processor. I've been using openssl v0.9.5a with openssh v2.2.1 I've upgraded to openssl v0.9.6b and openssh v2.9.p2 I've built both packages with the '--prefix=/usr' option. During the openssh 'make install' at 'host-key' I get

Hi, I'm sure I'll get a few "RTFM", but I hope I'll allay those feelings. I'm getting the "scp: command not found". I've read the FAQ. I've read bugs 42 and 82 in bugzilla. Hopefully, I didn't overlook something. At a minimum, defines.h has : #ifdef USER_PATH # ifdef _PATH_STDPATH # undef _PATH_STDPATH # endif # define _PATH_STDPATH

Is there a risk associated with having authorized_keys files set to readable but "StrictMode no"? I am thinking particularly in the case of having public keys all centralized in a directory in /etc or something. Is it really a potential hack vector if someone can read a public key, or is the only real danger if they were writable? --- Don Hoover dxh at yahoo.com

hello, i'm building a solaris package of openssh 2.5.1 for my employer. my configure string is this: ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/jon --with-xauth=/usr/openwin/bin/xauth --with-ipv4-default --with-tcp-wrappers --with-pid-dir=/etc --sysconfdir=/etc i use a prefix of /usr/share/jon , then build the system V package from there. most things work great, but somehow scp does not. it seems

Hello, I have been having issues with x11 forwarding using my linux-mandrake based servers. I checked my XAUTHORITY variable and it was set to ~/.Xauthority ...

Hello, On my home PC, whch runs openssh with Jim Knoble's x11-ssh-askpass, I have configured my Bash shell login script to prompt me for the passphrase. No problem, however it waits during the login process for me to 'do something' - i.e. enter a passphrase, cancel it or whatever. Is it possible to set a timeout so that if, say, nothing occurs within a minute then it assumes no
