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<whatever>\fP and +.\" \fI<whatever>\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.
