Hey Kent, I have read the same thing you have, and the commands you list seem right to me, but they don't work for me either. The 'askpass' programs are pretty simple, just putting the password on stdout, but 'ssh' seems to be ignoring the existence of the variables it should use to get this job done. Maybe it is different for different distributions? This is RH7.3 with OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, and OpenSSL 0x0090602f. Can anyone get this to work?

From my reading, it seems this should work. export SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/libexec/openssh/x11-ssh-askpass export DISPLAY=vampir:0 ssh -n panshin Unfortunately I still get the text prompt kent at panshin's password: I've tried alternatives and googled away the morning, and I still have had no success. Anybody have any pithy advice? Relevant advice would be nice too :-) _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
