unable to use SSH_ASKPASS

Subject: unable to use SSH_ASKPASS
Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2005 09:50:47 +0300 (EEST) 

    Hi guys,

    According to ssh manual:

 "If ssh does not
               have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and
 SSH_ASKPASS
               are set, it will execute the program specified by
 SSH_ASKPASS
               and open an X11 window to read the passphrase.  This is
 particu-
               larly useful when calling ssh from a .xsession or related
               script.  (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to
               redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)"
( Version OpenSSH_4.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7g )

    starting ssh from a shell script and setting SSH_ASKPASS and DISPLAY
 should involve executing the $SSH_ASKPASS.  Till now i wasn't able to do
 it.
    I use the following script to test:

 export DISPLAY=localhost:0
 export SSH_ASKPASS="/opt/kde/bin/cvsaskpass"
 ssh marian@localhost

    Any help is welcomed.

 Thanks,
 Marian
