is a KDE-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called by the
ssh-add(1)
program and not invoked directly. It allows
ssh-add(1)
to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display is available). This happens automatically in the case where
ssh-add
is invoked from one's
~/.xsession
or as one of the KDE startup programs, for example.
In order to be called automatically by
ssh-add,
ksshaskpass
should be installed as
/usr/bin/ssh-askpass.
