>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.
