Summary: Send echo on/off flag to SSH_ASKPASS
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ssh
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: t8m@centrum.cz
When the SSH_ASKPASS helper is used for getting answer for a question
it might be a question which is not a passphrase but for example a
yes/no question when a new host key is received.
Unfortunately the helper is not getting any hints about what it should
present to the user, whether it should echo the answer the user types
or not. Even better in case of questions with limited number of answers
it could get a list of the possible answers so the askpass dialog could
use a radio buttons instead of text entry box. But for start it would
be good enough if the askpass at least know about the echo on/off flag.
