To: stable@freebsd.org Message-id: <200006300320.UAA09333@praxis.lunabase.org> Organization: My Secret Broadcast Base on the Moon X-Mailer: exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 iD8DBQE5XBHraUz3f+Zf+XsRAt2dAKCHL7+65mDQYy4fNZ4MjFUofgLWNACg0+8h 0Wli6hjei9ugYdY+Z+SyN/4= =kc9S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
