https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1871 Summary: ssh-askpass should be able to distinguish between a prompt for confirmation and a prompt for an actual passphrase Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 5.8p1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal

I just opened a bug report about this, but i thought i'd bring it to the group if anyone has any concerns about the idea: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1871 currently, ssh-askpass is used in some situations to actually ask the user for a passphrase. in other situations, it is used to prompt for simple confirmation (e.g. ControlMaster=ask, ssh-add -c). Providing the exact

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".

My website has fallen off the web. This is a good time for someone else to take over the code for x11-ssh-askpass, as I've not done anything with it for years. I have the original code somewhere if needed, but I think Debian has mirrored it for some time. -- jim knoble > On Nov 18, 2019, at 01:49, Jakub Jelen <jjelen at redhat.com> wrote: > >> On Mon, 2019-11-18 at 16:19

Hello! I wonder if that possible to have utf-8 encoded folders on filesystem with dovecot? ?May be this feature planned already?? -- Pavel

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

This got me thinking, shouldn't this go through PAM so that password strength restrictions can be set as well? Obviously most ssh keys are created locally. But, if this were implemented, I think most distros would adopt the same strength criteria on this as they do with passwd and the like. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg at fifthhorseman.net>

A Feature Request for OpenSSH 3.x: In version 2.x, when prompting for the passphrase ssh would print a prompt including the comment string from an RSA key, like: Enter passphrase for RSA key 'Your Dog's Name': The comment string was a useful way to remind the user what the passphrase was (i didn't use hints quite this easy :-). In Openssh 3.0, ssh prompts using the filename:

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

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, 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

The patch (against 4.7p1) modifies gnome-ssh-askpass to optionally generate a one-time password and transmits it to the user via an out-of-band communication channel. If you can read the password and enter it back into the gnome-ssh-askpass dialog, ssh-agent is allowed to continue with the authentication process. There are two ways to use the modified gnome-ssh-askpass. The first

Setting SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=never has no effect for me either, but that's

OpenSSH Version 2.9p1 of "ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa < /dev/null" fails on the first try of using ssh-askpass before the window manager starts. The second try works. The error message on the first try is "Bad passphrase, try again". This did not occur using OpenSSH-2.5.2p2.tar.gz. I've tested this on both RHL6.2 and RHL7.1, both with all RH rpm updates applied. I
