ssh askpass does not work at kde startup
Last modified: 2014-05-04 07:08:27 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 In .xinitrc I have the following, if test -S "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" -a -x "$SSH_ASKPASS"; then ssh-add < /dev/null fi This causes the X startup to eventually invoke /usr/lib64/ssh/ksshaskpass. The UI comes up, but typing any keys is not reflected in the UI, and the passphrase is not read into the app. If I invoke ssh-add after kde is up, the UI reacts normally and operates correctly. root 20020 1106 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 -:0 coe 20047 20020 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/local/home/coe/.xinitrc coe 20151 20047 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --write-env-file /usr/local/home/coe/.gnupg/agent.info /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/local/home/coe/.xinitrc coe 20152 20047 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/local/home/coe/.xinitrc coe 20156 20047 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 ssh-add coe 20157 20156 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib64/ssh/ksshaskpass Enter passphrase for /usr/local/home/coe/.ssh/id_rsa: Reproducible: Always
