D. Millers commnents are interesting.

However it seems that they changes that I suggest are required to run scp in a 
nohup'd script, with no executables other that ssh and scp. The use of setsid 
would seem to not apply if one is using shell scripting and shell commands. The 
code change I suggest makes things work and it fails to use ssh-askpass 
without. 

So why is allow stdin used for ssh-add if is so dangerous. My understanding of 
the code, which is very limited, is that this variable allows the passphrase 
stdin to come from the stdout of sss-askpass.
