.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B SSH_ASKPASS
dbclient can use an external program to request a password from a user.
SSH_ASKPASS should be set to the path of a program that will return a password
on standard output. This program will only be used if either DISPLAY is set and
standard input is not a TTY, or the environment variable SSH_ASKPASS_ALWAYS is
set.
.TP
.B DROPBEAR_PASSWORD
A password to use for remote authentication can be specified in the environment
variable DROPBEAR_PASSWORD. Care should be taken that the password is not
exposed to other users on a multi-user system, or stored in accessible files.
