So to clarify, do you *want* to be asked for the passphrase on every use? I would have recommended loading the key into an agent with confirmation before use, so that you only need to provide the passphrase once. (I know this has nothing to do with pasting.) Thinking about this further, such a use-case could perhaps benefit from ssh-agent having loaded the key encrypted (I believe the protocol doesn't currently support that but could be exnteded) and asking for the passphrase to decrypt before each use. //Peter _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
