[openbox] ssh-askpass

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

I use openbox without any DE and with SLiM as my login manager. I was wondering how to get ssh-askpass to work when I log in. I looked around for some help with openbox WM but was unable to find any. I am able to find the following setup for LXDE (which supposedly works):


$ sudo tail /usr/bin/startlxde
# set up ssh
SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass
export SSH_ASKPASS
eval $( ssh-agent -s )
ssh-add &

# Start the LXDE session
exec /usr/bin/lxsession -s LXDE -e LXDE
eval $( ssh-agent -k )

Does the above need to be set up in /usr/bin/openbox-session?


Many thanks,
Ranjan

I use xdm, and such stuff goes into my ~/.xsession file.

Thanks, but I have no .xsession file:

$ locate xsession
usr/share/xsessions
/usr/share/xsessions/openbox.desktop
/usr/share/xsessions/wbar.desktop

$locate .xsession
$

Try to create one. On Debian at least, the X11 startup scripts (in the
package x11-common) are clever enough to work with or without it.
