           Summary: Allow 'authorize host' questions to be able to be
                    answered via GUI app
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: bbum at codefab.com


Just like ssh can ask for a password via the SSH_ASKPASS hook, it would be extremely useful if ssh would have a hook to ask for authorization of a machine key via some external command hook.

	If there isn't a valid TTY, ssh will fail if the user has never logged into a particular machine as there is no way to ask the user if it a particular machine has acceptably identified itself.
