similar to: Problem with -c switch for ssh-add in OpenSSH 3.6.1 on CURRENT

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

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

There is an amusing bug in ssh-add that causes it to go into an infinite loop. I am using openssh 1.2.3, and noticed that when I ran "ssh-add < /dev/null" in my X startup scripts, but didn't have ssh-askpass installed, ssh-add started spewing errors into my .xsession-errors and didn't stop. I found that what happens is: ssh-add forks and attempts to exec ssh-askpass. 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

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

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 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

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

Requests first: after a build, "make" always remakes all the .out files; maybe we could add a few dependencies there? And could we possibly have a few more '@if' lines in the Makefile to quiet it down?

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".

Hallo! I did upgrade openssh to version OpenSSH_3.4p1. But now I cant enter my password. It seems to be because of the combination of askpass and DISPLAY-variable. ?? Which I must do to around the same functionality as with the version 2.9 (without X11-ssh-askpass) ?? regards heiko --------------------------- - Test without ssh-askpass lukas # ~ $ echo $DISPLAY ksh: DISPLAY: unbound

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
