PROGRAM:
NAME
ssh-askpass-noinput - an ssh-askpass implementation for asking allow/deny questions
SYNOPSIS
ssh-askpass-noinput text
DESCRIPTION
ssh-askpass-noinput is an implementation of ssh-askpass, which does not acutally ask for a
password; instead, it only asks a binary (allow/deny) question and exits with 0 for allow
and 1 for deny.
It is not intended as a general replacement for ssh-askpass, but for special applications
that don't care about a passphrase.
OPTIONS
As usual with ssh-askpass implementations, ssh-askpass-noinput only takes a single
argument, which will be presented as the question.
BACKGROUND AND APPLICATIONS
Some programs (ssh-agent and ssh-agent-filter) use ssh-askpass to have users confirm
actions without entering a passphrase; ssh-agent does this when used via ssh-add's -c
option. They do not indicate that it is a binary question (because in the classical
ssh-agent invocation, there is no option to do this), and expect the user to ignore the
text input and click "OK" or "Cancel", whereupon they read the askpass's exit status.
With programs that are known to only ask those questions, setting
SSH_ASKPASS=ssh-askpass-noinput in their environment will make them use this particular
implementation for their questions. It should never be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.
FUTURE
This solution is obviously a hack, which is needed until a way is established and
implemented for ssh-askpass to be used more flexibly.
