It is intended to be called by the .B ssh-add(1) program and not invoked directly. It allows .B ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display is available). This happens auto-matically in the case where .B ssh-add is invoked from one's .B ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup programs, for example. In order to be called automatically by .B ssh-add, .B ssh-askpass-fullscreen should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass .\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB\fP and .\" \fI\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, .\" respectively. \fBssh-askpass-fullscreen\fP is a program that... .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The following environment variables are recognized: .TP .IR "GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER" Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase. .TP .IR "GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER" Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer will be grabbed too. .PP These may have some benefit to security if you don't trust your X server. Keyboard is always grabbed. .TP .SH SEE ALSO .BR ssh-add (1), .BR ssh-askpass (1). .br .SH AUTHOR This manual page was written by Marco Presi (Zufus) , for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others) and it is based on that for x11-ssh-askpass by Philip Hands and the one for gnome-ssh-askpass by Colin Watson
