NAME
       ksshaskpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using KDE

SYNOPSIS
       kdesshaskpass

DESCRIPTION
       kshaskpass  is  a  KDE-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 KDE startup programs, for example.

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