Subject: ldm: ssh warnings force repetition of password entry

Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:22:05 -0700

Package: ldm
Version: 2:2.0.42-2
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256


the warning happens on our systems when ssh "adds rsa key for 10.2.2...",
as we only have our hosts' keys listed by name.
the problem with ldm is that this warning leads to ldm seeming to forget
that the user typed in their password,
prompting for it again after a brief pause.

note that the cursor also does not start within the second password prompt,
and the user is forced to tab or click into it.
this is not unimportant,
as the root problem being fixed will obviate any need to address this.

please note that the dependencies listed below are for version 2:2.0.6-4,
but i couldn't get reportbug to run in the chroot (which uses squeeze).
