ssh-askpass-fullscreen - A simple replacement for ssh-askpass written with gtk2

       This  manual  page was written by Marco Presi (Zufus) <zufus@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system
       (but may be used by others) and it is based on that for x11-ssh-askpass by Philip Hands and the  one  for
       gnome-ssh-askpass by Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

                                                  May 8 , 2004                         SSH-ASKPASS-FULLSCREEN(1)

       This  manual  page  was  written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
       manual page.

       gnome-ssh-askpass is a GTK-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  auto-
       matically  in  the  case  where  ssh-add  is  invoked from one's ~/.xsessionorasoneoftheGUIstartupprograms,forexample.

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

       The following environment variables are recognized:

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
                            Causes ssh-askpass-fullscreen to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
                            Causes ssh-askpass-fullscreen to grab the mouse pointer will be grabbed too.

       These  may have some benefit to security if you don't trust your X server. Keyboard is always grabbed.
