Name¶
pmt-fd0ssh - pipe for password-over-stdin support to ssh
Syntax¶
pmt-fd0ssh mount_command
Description¶
This is a wrapper for ssh which reads the password from stdin and sets things up
so that ssh will recall the wrapper to get the password, which will be read
from the parent process using a pipe.
It is used by
pam_mount(8) to mount SSH-based filesystems, such as ccgfs and
sshfs.
