SSH-askpass - timeout possible?

[John Horne]

Hello,

On my home PC, whch runs openssh with Jim Knoble's x11-ssh-askpass, I have
configured my Bash shell login script to prompt me for the passphrase. No
problem, however it waits during the login process for me to 'do something'
- i.e. enter a passphrase, cancel it or whatever. Is it possible to set a
timeout so that if, say, nothing occurs within a minute then it assumes no
passphrase and the login continues?

Thanks,

John.
