>Description:
ssh-add hardcodes the path to ssh-askpass to /usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass
If xpkgwedge is being used then security/ssh-askpass will install
into PREFIX/bin/ssh-askpass (/usr/pkg/bin/ssh-askpass) instead.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install pkgtools/xpkgwedge then security/ssh-askpass, and try and
use ssh-add in .xsession.
>Fix:
Change ssh-add to not use a full path, or check /usr/pkg/bin also.
