When the "sshcontrol" file is configured with the "confirm" flag for a key, a
prompt appears every time it is used by ssh.
On Linux (Ubuntu using Unity), the default action is "Deny" but on Windows the
default action is "Allow". It should be "Deny" to avoid accidentally allowing an
expected request.
| Status | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T2265 SSH confirmation with gpg-agent on Windows has the Allow button as the default action | ||
| Open | None | T8182 Make OK the default action for the "insert card" prompt. |
It should indeed be identical on all platforms.
iirc, the orginal request for that feature was to make allow the default.
Does this relate to which button is selected by default by a pinentry prompt for inserting a card? I am very annoyed by the default for it being "Cancel" as I can't just press enter after inserting the card, but have to tab to or use the mouse to press the OK button.
It would be great if the default for the card insertion prompt would be OK.
My request is for pinentry on Linux, so the task that was merged with this one is more applicable (that one was for pinentry-gtk2 on Linux, this one is for gpg4win), but that task was closed, so I am commenting on the one still open. Perhaps the task and its title should be edited to apply to all platforms, regarding the default selected button in a pinentry prompt.
I guess no. But yes, am also annoyed by the default for "insert card" - sometimes several times a day. We should really fix that. See new task T8182
