I'm running OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 as installed by fink on Mac OS X 10.2.8 from an xterm. In certain situations I'd like to prompt for a password using x11-ssh-askpass, but I can't seem to coax it to do so. I have these environment variables set:
DISPLAY=:0.0 SSH_ASKPASS=/Users/skip/local/libexec/x11-ssh-askpass and if I execute $SSH_ASKPASS it runs the program. "strings -a" shows there is an SSH_ASKPASS string in the ssh executable. I've tried the following variants: ssh host ssh -n host ssh -n host </dev/null ssh host </dev/null All use the console prompt for the password. x11-ssh-askpass is never run. Just to make sure it wasn't something peculiar with the way fink's ssh was configured, I tried the above with /usr/bin/ssh as well. There was no joy in Mudville there either. What am I missing?
