> Wow. Scary to know that's still around and still works. Profuse apologies for that. lol. There is a niche for it for people like me who don't want to pull in all the baggage of a fullblown desktop environment. Like, I'm sure lxqt-ssh-askpass (which I considered using because it's in my package manager) *looks* prettier, but I don't want to install the rest of lxqt just to get it. > ssh-askpass doesn't have any idea what's bein requested; if I recall correctly, it displays whatever message it was called with, and it prints on Syd out whatever I put it received, exiting with status zero for OK or nonzero for Cancel. > > It's ssh-agent or ssh-add that "know" about user presence, insofar as that can be known. > > That is to say, the source code you probably want to look at is in ssh-agent, rather than x11-ssh-askpass. Thanks for the tip, that's useful to know. ~ Tim _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
