Summary: OpenSSH common passphrase dialog infrastructure
Description: 
Ssh (Secure Shell) a program for logging into a remote machine and for
executing commands in a remote machine.  It is intended to replace
rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communications between
two untrusted hosts over an insecure network.  X11 connections and
arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.

OpenSSH is OpenBSD's rework of the last free version of SSH, bringing it
up to date in terms of security and features, as well as removing all
patented algorithms to seperate libraries (OpenSSL).

This package contains OpenSSH passphrase dialog infrastructure.
These dialogs are intended to be called from the ssh-add program and
not invoked directly.
