similar to: Regarding SSH_ASKPASS

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

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

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

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

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

Dear list, I have set up SSH with the SSH_ASKPASS and DISPLAY variable set. Everything works perfectly. When ssh is used without a tty, the askpass program is executed, providing the password. But when I change the location of the askpass program, so it contains a space in the absolute path name (for example "c:\My Documents\askpass") the askpass program cannot be found. I get a

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
