The ssh-1.2.27 port has a program called ssh-askpass that would pop up
an X window for you to type your ssh RSA password into. It was called
from ssh-add when there was a DISPLAY set but no tty. It was handy to
call from my window manager (which was started under ssh-agent) so
that I could type my ssh password in right as I logged in. The
OpenSSH man pages mention this capability of ssh-add, but there's no
ssh-askpass in the source or installed by make {build,install}world
and ssh-add doesn't create the window on its own.
Is this program (or a replacement) available for OpenSSH? If not is
there a compatible X program that I can use in its place?
Right now I'm using the binary from the port, but this is obviously
not a great solution.
