Package: openssh-client Version: 1:4.3p2-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
Currently, ssh will run ssh-askpass only if there is no controlling terminal. While this is a sane default, there are cases where I would like it to be used regarless of whether there is a controlling terminal, e.g., when I'm running an 'svn update' in a working copy that makes use of the svn:externals feature, or in cases where I'm trying to set up a connection to a slow machine on an overloaded network. In such cases, I may not be paying attention to the terminal where ssh is running, only noticing that I need to enter a password when it is too late; had SSH popped up ssh-askpass at that time, then this wouldn't occur.
