gaskpass discards all arguments but the first

[Trochee]

Binary package hint: gstm

compare the text in the pop-up dialogs for the following behaviors:

  gaskpass one two three four five

  /usr/lib/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass one two three four five

gaskpass apparently discards everything after "one".

Note that the latter is built from upstream ssh sources, and I believe that is the right model for behavior for gaskpass.

Okay, will fix this (though it's really not a big deal, as this does not affect it's usability with it's current usage).

Thanks for the bug report,

This bug was fixed in the package gstm - 1.2-7

---------------
gstm (1.2-7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove gaskpass. gaskpass is just another ssh askpass program, and
    doesn't do anything special. It does not grab focus, which means
    that key loggers can listen in on what you type, aiui. Seeing as how
    it is just reinventing the wheel, I see no reason to keep it around.
    (Fixes LP: #276530, #276517, #276525, #276529, #276534)
  * Do not explicitly set the ssh timeout, as that causes problems on
    slow networks. (Fixes LP: #293240)
