Bug ID: 444862
Summary: ksshaskpass can not parse "The authenticity of host
can't be established." message from OpenSSH
Product: ksshaskpass
Version: 5.23.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jpwhit...@kde.org
Reporter: me+kdeb...@nogweii.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Connecting to a remote host that is not already known produces a prompt sent to
the askpass program that ksshaskpass does not recognize. It's not unusable, I
can type "yes" or "no" into the text field, but it does produce a slightly
annoying line of text in the console:
ksshaskpass: Unable to parse phrase "The authenticity of host 'github.com
(140.82.113.3)' can't be established.\nRSA key fingerprint is
SHA256:nThbg6kXUpJWGl7E1IGOCspRomTxdCARLviKw6E5SY8.\nThis key is not known by
any other names\nAre you sure you want to continue connecting
(yes/no/[fingerprint])? "
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an empty ~/.ssh/known_hosts
2. export SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ksshaskpass SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=prefer
3. ssh g...@github.com
OBSERVED RESULT
The line of text is produced
EXPECTED RESULT
ksshaskpass knows how to handle this question/prompt from OpenSSH
