Wow. Scary to know that's still around and still works. Profuse apologies for that.

ssh-askpass doesn't have any idea what's bein requested; if I recall correctly, it displays whatever message it was called with, and it prints on Syd out whatever I put it received, exiting with status zero for OK or nonzero for Cancel.

It's ssh-agent or ssh-add that "know" about user presence, insofar as that can be known.

That is to say, the source code you probably want to look at is in ssh-agent, rather than x11-ssh-askpass.
