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?
Thx,
