Is there a way to change passphrase prompt for ssh?
0
I wanted to change the prompt for ssh login,
Enter passphrase for key 'path/to/key':
to something else. Is that possible?
Sorry I'm not really sure on the right verbiage, but I don't mean the PS1 variable prompt. More so the prompt that's (sort of) the question that asks for the key passphrase
I'm using RSA authentication
ssh login default prompt

Could you clarify a bit. That "prompt" is not a "prompt" in the normal sense. That is happening client side before the connection is even made (most likely).

Sure, I'm a little shaky on terminology, so I apologize

I don't think there's any way to change it directly - it's baked into the openssh-client source code (sshconnect2.c)"Enter passphrase for key '%.100s': ", id->filename);
