That's a makedev bug. See #245718 et al.

anyone using ssh-3.2.9.1 non-commercial with unstable?

2004-04-25 Thread Alan Ezust
I have the non-commercial version of ssh-3.2.9.1 which I compile from source 
on every machine I use, because it happens to be used by the server at 
Suffolk (our sysadmin there likes it).

Here's what happened. Before, I would run ssh-add from a konsole shell, and it 
would ask for a passphrase from stdin. And since i had the ssh-agent 
installed properly (running infront of KDE) everything worked great.

But since the last upgrade, now, it pops up the "ssh-askpass" program, which 
asks me for a passphrase or a passcode, but does not properly pass it back to 
ssh-add (or ssh, for that matter).

Why does it do that? And how do I return it back to the way it was before? I 
tried totally recompiling ssh from scratch and uninstalling openssh, but that 
didn't help.

I suppose there is a script somewhere that runs ssh-askpass program in a 
different way from how the ssh-3.2.9.1 one works - but how can I get ssh-add2 
it to input the passphrase from stdin again?
