Sun Oct 3 21:03:22 EST 2004


Moin,

attached is a patch, which adds a new configuration option
"PreferAskpass" to the ssh config.
ssh{,-add,-keygen,-agent} will use ssh-askpass to prompt for passwords, if
this option is set to "yes", and if ssh-askpass is available.

Default for "PreferAskpass" is "no".

Pacth is against current CVS.
