x11-ssh-askpass is a lightweight passphrase dialog for OpenSSH or other open variants of SSH. It is a useful alternative to the contributed gnome-ssh-askpass bundled with OpenSSH, as x11-ssh-askpass only requires the stock X11 libraries for its user interface.
x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.4.1: description + notes
This program can be customized through the usual X mechanisms, and several different app-defaults files are included demonstrating various looks. The x11-ssh-askpass home page has more information.
This product installs its X application default files in
/usr/freeware/lib/X11/app-defaults
, which is not on the default X search path. There are also several ways to extend your X search path. TheXUSERFILESEARCHPATH
,XAPPLRESDIR
,XFILESEARCHPATH
, andXENVIRONMENT
environment variables all affect resource file loading. The easiest methods are to either create aNetHack
symlink in/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults
or to add code similar to this to your startup scripts:% export XUSERFILESEARCHPATH= ${XUSERFILESEARCHPATH:+${XUSERFILESEARCHPATH}:} /usr/freeware/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S: /usr/freeware/lib/X11/%T/%N%S: /usr/freeware/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%C%S: /usr/freeware/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%S(The line wrapping above is for clarity; you can remove it and any extra whitespace. IfXUSERFILESEARCHPATH
is already set we append the new directories separated by a colon, otherwise we simply set it to the new colon-separated list.)
