KSSHASKPASS(1)			KDE User's Manual		  KSSHASKPASS(1)

NAME
     ksshaskpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using KDE

SYNOPSIS
     ksshaskpass

DESCRIPTION
     kshaskpass is a KDE-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is in-
     tended  to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not invoked directly. It
     allows 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 ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as
     one of the KDE startup programs, for example.

     In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, ksshaskpass should  be  in-
     stalled as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.
