KSSHASKPASS(1)         DragonFly General Commands Manual        KSSHASKPASS(1)

NAME
       ksshaskpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using KDE

SYNOPSIS
       kdesshaskpass

DESCRIPTION
       kshaskpass is a KDE-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It
       is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not invoked
       directly.  It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user,
       even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display is
       available).  This happens automatically in the case where ssh-add is
       invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the KDE startup programs,
       for example.

       In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, ksshaskpass should be
       installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.
