NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       kdesshaskpass

DESCRIPTION

12       kshaskpass  is  a KDE-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It
13       is intended to be called by the  ssh-add(1)  program  and  not  invoked
14       directly.   It  allows  ssh-add(1)  to obtain a passphrase from a user,
15       even if not connected to a terminal (assuming  that  an  X  display  is
16       available).   This  happens  automatically in the case where ssh-add is
17       invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the KDE  startup  programs,
18       for example.
19
20       In  order  to be called automatically by ssh-add, ksshaskpass should be
21       installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.
