System: NetBSD altair.mayn.de 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (ALTAIR) #0: Mon Dec 4 18:48:50 CET 2000 root@altair.mayn.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ALTAIR i386

>Description:

The ssh-askpass utility which is used to query a passphrase under
an X11 session is missing in NetBSD 1.5.  Therefore ssh-agent can't
be used with an X session:

$ ssh-add </dev/null
Need passphrase for /usr/people/mkb/.ssh/identity
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory

>How-To-Repeat:

Read ssh-agent(1) and perform the steps described there for adding
ssh-agent to your .xsession file.
