Hi,
if I have an ssh key with a passphrase, whenever I use that key, a
dialogue box pops up. Why ? What's wrong with asking me from the term
I'm using ? Who's idea of policy is this ? It's stupid and breaks the
workflow up. Is there any way of disabling this behaviour - apart from
setting up my ssh keys without a passphrase. 8.10 BTW.
I thought of doing apt-get remove ssh-askpass but this wants to remove
ubuntu-desktop which is a problem :-(
Does anybody think this is a good idea ? Popping a dialogue box up
could really break some expect scripts.
I fail to see the logic of this feature. I really do, can somebody tell
me in simple terms what it's supposed to achieve ?
As far as I can see, this is the curse of Debian - unnecessary tinkering
with a system that works very well :-(.
Regards,
Dave
