NAME

       ksshaskpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using KDE

SYNOPSIS

       kdesshaskpass

DESCRIPTION

       kshaskpass  is  a  KDE-based  passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It is intended 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
       automatically 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 installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.
