.SH NAME
ssh-askpass-fullscreen \- A simple replacement for ssh-askpass written with gtk2
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ssh-askpass-fullscreen
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
.PP
.B gnome-ssh-askpass
is a GTK-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. 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 GUI startup programs, for example.
In order to be called automatically by
.B ssh-add,
.B ssh-askpass-fullscreen
should be installed as
.B /usr/bin/ssh-askpass
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are recognized:
.TP
.IR "GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER"
Causes ssh-askpass-fullscreen to grab the X server before
asking for a passphrase.
.TP
.IR "GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER"
Causes ssh-askpass-fullscreen 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. Keyboard is always grabbed.
.TP
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR ssh-add (1),
.BR ssh-askpass (1).
