12 kshaskpass is a KDE-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is
13 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, even
15 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.

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