openssh ssh_askpass problem / question

Subject: openssh ssh_askpass problem / question
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 09:50:38 +0100
Dear list,

I have set up SSH with the SSH_ASKPASS and DISPLAY variable set.
Everything works perfectly. When ssh is used without a tty, the askpass
program is executed, providing the password.

But when I change the location of the askpass program, so it contains a
space in the absolute path name (for example "c:\My Documents\askpass")
the askpass program cannot be found. I get a "c:\My is not recognized as
an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" error
message back. And yes, I have put double quotes around the path when I
set the environment variable.

This indicates that openssh executes the askpass program with an
absolute path, without decently quoting the string. I am using the
cygwin implementation of openssh, currently version 4.6p1.

If anybody can give me some help or directions with this issue, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Warm regards,

Jan
