askpass doesn't look at AUTH_USERNAME and AUTH_HOSTNAME env variables #11

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I noticed in the following blog entry that ssh-askpass can be used for 
either passwords or for accepting host identities:

nstask/

I haven't actually confirmed this, but it's probably good to update 
askpass.py to check specifically for the AUTH_USERNAME and AUTH_HOSTNAME 
environment variables.  It makes sense to first verify that this is actually 
how things work.  At that point, we need to figure out what should happen in 
the AUTH_HOSTNAME case.

It looks like this blog entry was wrong.  I've searched through the openssh 
source, 
and there's nothing called AUTH_USERNAME or AUTH_HOSTNAME anywhere in there.
