SSH Askpass

nps-ssh-askpass does exactly the same job as x11-ssh-askpass, but it's not as hard to compile on MacOS, because it doesn't require xmkmf.

Requirements

On MacOS, this program requires XQuartz, the X11 server. Before running this program, you must first start XQuartz.

Installing a binary

For macOS, the easiest way to install is via Homebrew:

brew install --cask xquartz
brew tap jafl/jx
brew install jafl/jx/nps-ssh-askpass

For all other systems, download a package:

If you download a tar, unpack it, cd into the directory, and run sudo ./install.

Otherwise, put the program (nps-ssh-askpass) in a directory that is on your execution path. ~/bin is typically a good choice.

Building from source

1. Install the JX Application Framework, and set the JX_ROOT environment variable to point to its include directory.
2. ./configure
3. make
