Description Richard Torkar 2004-06-09 10:41:33 UTC
When installing gtk2-ssh-askpass I expected it to create a link like this:

ln -s /usr/bin/gtk2-ssh-askpass /usr/lib/misc/ssh-askpass

This way ssh works with askpass, otherwise it does not work. Or meybe this could be solved in another way?

Same here; ssh broke after ~x86 upgrade. I don't have gtk2-ssh-askpass installed, and it worked before without.

it installs /etc/env.d/99ssh_askpass, that sets SSH_ASKPASS so it finds the right one. if it doesn't, then it falls back to the its own askpass.
