similar to: auto passphrase

Hello, I have the following problem. I have an application which is running and which has already request a passphrase to the user. This application needs to launch ssh agent and ssh add, but I do not want to be prompt again for the passphrase. My private key is of course encrypted with the passphrase. How can I do ? My only idea for the moment is to change the variable value of ask_passphrase

I am going to preface this email by saying that I know very little about OpenSSH internals, the protocol, etc. I do a lot of work with novice programmers, and one step that comes up relatively early is generating SSH keys. In case you haven't done it in a while, the output looks like this: $ ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key

I have an account where I have DSA key setup with a passphrase. I am trying to write a script to ssh over to another Unix server, without having to type in the passphrase and have ssh read the passphrase from either a file or pass it in from the command line. Is there a way to do something like this? I know that we can it so I don't need to enter a passphrase but we don't want to do

I'm running into some odd behavior that I can't figure out that I'm hoping someone can help me with. After years of SSH usage, I've decided to exchange one laziness for another and use ssh-agent. However I'm running into an odd instance where ssh is asking for the passphrase to my key stored in ~/.ssh/id_dsa when attempting to connect to a machine with nothing in

The patch below does two things. 1. If invoked with no arguments, attempt to add both RSA and DSA keys. 2. Remember the last successful passphrase and attempt to use it on subsequent key files which are added. Note that the latter part of the patch extends the period of time during which the passphrase is held in clear text in the ssh-add process, but doesn't introduce any _new_

Looking at openSSH INSTALL: To generate a host key, run "make host-key". Alternately you can do so manually using the following commands: ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N "" ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N "" But when I try latter, I get: (gdb) n 1 0x35a6 in save_private_key_ssh2 ( filename=0xb2d2c

Hello, In one recent change (https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/commit/?id=2b13d3934d5803703c04803ca3a93078ecb5b715), I noticed a regression. If ssh-keygen is given a private file without passphrase and without the corresponding .pub file, I doesn't extract the comment after the commit, while it did before: Before the commit: $ ./ssh-keygen -q -t dsa -N '' -C foobar -f

Hi there. I'm being asked for a passphrase for a key file that does not exist. See debug output below. Both client and server default to SSH2. Creating a DSA key without a password and copying the public portion to the server's authorized_keys2 allowed me to login w/o a password. I downloaded and installed the latest version of SSH from OpenBSD CVS, and now its asking me for the

I am trying to automate ssh-keygen creating keys without a passphrase. How can I run a script that calls ssh-keygen so that it does NOT require a passphrase? When I was testing on the command line I created a file that contained 2 line feeds and piped it into stdin. I got a message mentioning that ssh-askpass could not be found and it completed. I did not try the keys but I would like to be

I would like to automatically deduce in a script if an ssh key is encrypted or not. Basically in a very particular application I want to be the BOFH and enforce that users place a passphrase on their id_rsa key. If they don't put a passphrase I want to send them back to ssh-keygen until they do. I have not been able to deduce a way to detect this yet. Any hints? Thanks Bob

I've just compiled and installed openssh-2.9.9p2 (compiled against openssl-0.9.6b using gcc-3.0.0) on a Slackware 7-based Linux machine (kernel 2.4.6ac2). The previously installed version was 2.9p2, compiled against openssl-0.9.6a, also with gcc-3.0.0, but with a different build of gcc-3.0.0. Everything seems to work fine except for one problem: passphrase matching for ssh2 keys
