Summary: SSH_ASKPASS not working as expected
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 4.6p1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Cygwin on NT/2k
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ssh
AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: jan.alphenaar at dotcolour.com
I have set up SSH with the SSH_ASKPASS and DISPLAY variable set.
Everything works perfectly. When ssh is used without a tty, the askpass
program is executed, providing the password.
But when I change the location of the askpass program, so it contains a
space in the absolute path name (for example "c:\My Documents\askpass")
the askpass program cannot be found. I get a "c:\My is not recognized
as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
error message back.
This indicates that openssh executes the askpass program with an
absolute path, without decently quoting the string (surrounding it with
"" characters). I am using the cygwin implementation of openssh,
currently version 4.6p1. But I expect this bug to appear in all
operating systems, supporting a space in file and directory names.
