Surely someone more capable than me has used this feature before? And, also: In the man page this whole SSH_ASKPASS/DISPLAY-thingy is described as a way for X11-users and if no terminal is associated. But in my case, all of this should not be necessary, as I am running this from a terminal, and ssh just has to ask for the passphrase. As it might ask for the passphrase when adding it to ssh-agent or when ssh'ing without the agent. > I think you are not using ssh-agent but Kwallet (it can also serve > as ssh agent). I'm manually starting ssh-agent on the konsole (KDE's terminal). Regards, Johannes - -- The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners.
