All,
To add more to this whole scenario that I failed to mention, if I am logged
into my client as the user and attempt to access my remote server, I get the
below mentioned error. However, if I su to root or login as root at the
client and attempt to access my remote server, the remote server prompts me
for my password. What is particularly strange about any of this is that it
should prompt me for my passphrase versus password. In my ssh_config file
PasswordAuthentication is set to yes; PreferredAuthentications is set to
publickey,password and PubkeyAuthentication is set to yes. On the remote
server sshd_config is ChallengeResponseAuthentication is set to yes;
PasswordAuthentication is set to yes; PubkeyAuthentication is set to yes.
Anyone have any ideas ???
Thanks Again,
Paul

Subject: HELP !!! ssh-askpass... No such file or directory.
All,
I am in need of some assistance. I cannot figure out what has happened.
I am running Solaris 8 on a SunFire 280R server with OpenSSH version
3.7.1p2 and OpenSSL 0.9.7d. I am getting the following error when I
attempt to logon to my remote server:
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/local/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or
directory
Host key verification failed.
Now this was working just fine before I loaded a set of Sun Solaris
patches in August. I have since reloaded OpenSSH, OpenSSL, zlib, libgcc;
recreated my server keys, renamed my known_hosts files all in an attempt
to fix this issue. NO JOY !!! Has anyone seen this issue before? The
file it is looking for is not there... but why is it not there? Why
hasn't it been recreated when I re-installed my software? Are there any
configuration issues at my server that I need to adjust?
PLEASE HELP !!!
