 | >Description:
 | I have ssh-askpass installed into /usr/pkg/bin/ssh-askpass (from pkgsrc).  ssh-add in X says: 
 | 
 | ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
 | 
 | /usr/src/crypto/dist/ssh/pathnames.h has this path hardcoded.  
 | >How-To-Repeat:
 | have pkgsrc/security/ssh-askpass installed, and do "ssh-add < /dev/null" with DISPLAY variable set.  
 | >Fix:
 | /usr/src/crypto/dist/ssh/pathnames.h has the path hardcoded.  Change the path, or make it user-definable, or just look it up in $PATH.  
 
 there is a $SSH_ASKPASS override according to the manual page.
