Hi ! After updating openssh according to the last respective scurity anouncement, I could not use the X11-interface for ssh-add, as it complains ssh_askpass: exec(/usr//lib/ssh-askpass): Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden obviously the correct path should be /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass (a symlink in /usr/lib to /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass circumvents the problem) There's another point with the ssh-add X11-interface I'm struggling since I've installed openssh: with X11-interface I cannot use special characters on the german keyboard, while it works fine if the passphrase is entered via the console. Does anybody know know a workaround ? With best regards, Thomas Kronseder

It is an error in the SPEC file for the package. You have to install the source package, change the openssh.spec so that --libexecdir=/usr/lib/ssh and NOT --libexecdir=/usr/lib and recompile openssh. -- ciao norb +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Norbert Preining http://www.logic.at/people/preining | | University of Technology Vienna, Austria preining@logic.at | | DSA: 0x09C5B094 (RSA: 0xCF1FA165) mail subject: get [DSA|RSA]-key | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
