Name

       fd0ssh — pipe for password-over-stdin support to ssh

Syntax

       fd0ssh mount_command

Description

       This  is  a wrapper for ssh which reads the password from stdin and sets things up so that
       ssh will recall the wrapper to get the password,  which  will  be  read  from  the  parent
       process using a pipe.

       It is used by pam_mount(8) to mount SSH-based filesystems, such as ccgfs and sshfs.
