[lug] ssh-askpass

[Hugh Brown]

For some time now, I have been using ssh-agent to start up my xsession. 
I then open up a terminal and do an ssh-add.  I haven't had any problems
with it, but I have some users that don't remember to do it and don't
want to remember.  they would rather have a little gui pop up and ask
them for their ssh password right after they log in.

It seems that ssh-askpass (and/or ssh-askpass-gnome) are the little gui
tools to use, but I'm not sure what the "right" way is to invoke this on
gui start up.

I'd also like to set it up in /etc/skel so that all new users get this
behavior by default.

I've gone googling and everything seems to say that ssh-askpass will
give you an X window interface to ssh-add, but doesn't say what the
right way is to call it.

I have discovered that you can pipe stuff to ssh-add (even non-existent
commands) under rh8 and it will get the dialog box up, I would just like
to know how to do it the right way and to make it the default for all
new users created.

Thanks,

Hugh
