Dou you use a key to log into that host? I only use ssh-askpass to enter my key passphrase, not for entering passwords. See ssh-add's manpage for details. >Then I installed ssh-askpass-gnome, the GTK2 frontend for ssh-askpass... >When I am root, ssh does function normally, it asks me for the password >directly on the shell; when I am an user, and am in X, it asks me for a >password in a GTK2 dialog box; I have read ssh's manpage, where is >written that if the ambient variable SSH_ASKPASS is set, then >ssh-askpass will be invoked. But that variable does not exist! How did you make sure? It's hard to believe that ssh would make such a gross mistake in either code or documentation. >Another thing: when I do ssh from a tty such as tty1, it does not ask me >the password, writing into the shell something like this: >Permission denied, please try again. >Permission denied, please try again. >Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). >I understand what these mean, but I cannot log in the remote host... :P Sure looks like the password is fed from somewhere.
