Ksshaskpass: An Essential KDE Tool with KWallet support
If you're looking for an efficient and secure way to access remote servers and networks, Ksshaskpass is worth checking out. This KDE version of ssh-askpass with KWallet support makes it easy for users to enter their SSH passphrase without the fear of keyloggers capturing their sensitive data.
To get started with Ksshaskpass, you simply need to follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the directory containing the package's source code and enter "./configure" to configure the package for your system.
Note: If you're using "csh" on an old System V version, it might be necessary to enter "sh ./configure" to prevent "csh" from trying to execute "configure" itself. Keep in mind that running "configure" may take a while and display messages that explain which features it's checking for.
2. Next, type "make" to compile the package.
3. The final step is to enter "make install" to install the programs, data files, and documentation. If you want to remove program binaries and object files from the source code directory, simply type "make clean".
What's new in this latest release? It includes the addition of a manpage and an error patch that was created by Gustavo De Nardin. Thanks to Gustavo's contribution, the system now returns with an error message if the user cancels input.
Overall, Ksshaskpass is a reliable tool that strikes a balance between functionality and security. Give it a try and see how it can make your remote access experience more seamless and secure.
