$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install openssh-server

This will add 2 main repositories, update the package list, and install openssh-server. Note: the '$' is not part of the command line but indicates the prompt.

Thanks I'll be able to deal with that this evening, and I'll post back with the results. I'm curious, does the fact that sources.list was missing information suggest something went wrong with my install, or is adding this information as you describe a normal part of the process?

gnome-ssh-askpass

GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)					      General Commands Manual					      GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)

NAME

       gnome-ssh-askpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using GNOME

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-ssh-askpass

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-ssh-askpass  is  a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
       invoked directly.  It allows 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 automatically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
       grams, for example.

       In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, gnome-ssh-askpass should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables are recognized:

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
	      Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
	      Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer using gdk_pointer_grab() before asking for a passphrase.

       Regardless of whether either of these environment variables is set, gnome-ssh-askpass will grab the keyboard using gdk_keyboard_grab().
