I'm not really sure what this ssh-askpass thing is or where it was supposed to come from, but I found a great lack of information on it when I switched myself to openssh (from the ports collection) a long time ago, and in the interim I just put this in my .xsession file: env SSH_ASKPASS="$HOME/Bin/ssh-askpass.sh" ssh-add < /dev/null Where $HOME/Bin/ssh-askpass.sh is a simple shell script: #!/bin/sh xprompt -rfn nil2 -re -p "Enter your password" The xprompt program can be found in /usr/ports/x11/xprompt - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
