When you fix the syntax of this control command, please use a less misleading title. ssh itself quite clearly *does* work in UTF-8 locales (for instance, I'm using it like that right now); this report is talking about ssh-add and friends. > Raphaël "\"SurcouF\" Bordet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Le mar 24/02/2004 à 23:36, Christian Marillat a écrit : > >> Could you reply to my previous e-mail ?

I reassign this bug to the ssh package. Hmm. A --charset option would be a useful feature, I suppose. However, you should be able to simulate this by setting the SSH_ASKPASS environment variable to point to a script that looks something like this (untested): #! /bin/sh set -e ssh-askpass | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 You can probably make that convert from the current LC_CTYPE with a little more effort, too. Of course, you can also use 'ssh-keygen -p' to change the passphrases of your existing keys to whatever's convenient. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
