Hi Raggmop
Thanks for the reply.
Actually I got it working and it turned out to be a bug in my code. Nothing to do with the tty at all.
Embedding code in the key is perfect for what I wanted to do but awful to parse for bugs etc as it all has to appear on one line. (Unless someone can show me otherwise).
This has been quite a learning curve. If you are ever looking for creative ways to screw up sudo and ssh, I'm your man!
And yes, I was trying to create a passwordless log in that was locked down to just running the code embedded in the key on the server.
Thanks for responding
Steady

ssh-askpass-fullscreen
SSH-ASKPASS-FULLSCREEN(1) General Commands Manual SSH-ASKPASS-FULLSCREEN(1)
NAME
ssh-askpass-fullscreen - A simple replacement for ssh-askpass written with gtk2
SYNOPSIS
ssh-askpass-fullscreen
DESCRIPTION
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
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 auto-matically 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, ssh-askpass-fullscreen should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass
ssh-askpass-fullscreen is a program that...
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 will be grabbed too.
These may have some benefit to security if you don't trust your X server. Keyboard is always grabbed.
SEE ALSO
ssh-add(1), ssh-askpass(1).
