So question is if we want to add a terminal-detection logic to ssh-askpass or git

I guess in git.

No, why at all?

Because the client who is seeing SSH_ASKPASS in it's env has to decide whether to use it or not. Like the ssh client himself does it correctly, see man ssh: "SSH_ASKPASS If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particularly useful when calling ssh from a .xsession or related script. (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)" Since git is just using ssh client (or lib?) maybe just the "terminal info" gets lost when git calls ssh!? BUT I really wonder why SSH_ASKPASS is started at all although I do https and not ssh. Looks like it's really misused. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So if it's set then git is doing wrong. However if you work in console then there should NEVER pop up any stupid gui stuff. At least not per default. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

How can you know that? Did you get statistics? So far, it's nothing more than your subjective feeling and taste.

I don't know what to say ... can you not see that it's absolutely stupid to pop up GUI when calling ssh, ftp, wget, git or whatever from terminal or scripts?

That said, as this is currently a designed feature, if you need to "fix" your problem, please try convincing upstream first, or please give a patch so that we can submit to the upstream and include to our package.

I agree now that this may be an upstream bug. The example below is surely an unwanted discrepancy when typing these commands in terminal: $ export SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass $ git clone ssh://unknown@ssh-server/blubba < asks for password in terminal as it should > $ git clone https://unknown@https-server/blubba < popup gui ...> 1. Since SSH_ASKPASS was introduced for being used in ssh client it should never pop up gui when you are in terminal ... as you can read in ssh man page. Any non-ssh client (e.g. git) should respect that too! 2. Misusage! SSH_ASKPASS was invented for ssh and not https. This is a similar to the recently discussed misuse of kernel "debug" parameter by systemd. I'm going to report this upstream. On the other hand ... if there is existing software which misuses certain env vars then openSUSE should either fix that shipped software or don't export that env per default. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
