Can't get it to work - set up the win-ssh-agent, ran the ssh command
from a script after setting the DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS environment
variables and SSH still prompted me for a password - no askpass window
popped up. Any ideas??
Running on Windows XP Professional.
Mind you, having the User Guide in Japanese doesn't help either :)
Script (as suggested by Alexander Gottwald):
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
export SSH_ASKPASS="/usr/bin/win-ssh-askpass.exe"
ssh -f -X <host> -l username "/opt/SAS82/sas"
Thanks
