Write a program that does the following:
1. Opens up some IPC (unix-socket,msgqueue, shmem)
2. Set SSH_ASKPASS
3. ioctl(0, TIOCNOTTY)  
# Fools ssh into thinking its not on a terminal
# ssh will then attempt to run the program in SSH_ASKPASS
4. $SSH_ASKPASS connects to the parent IPC and gets password
5. Tada!

It actually does work, I've done it before.
