+There is an issue with creating remote repositories using ssh (the problem may require using a different account name.) I filed the following bug:
+
+
+<http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Error_creating_remote_repository_using_ssh_on_OSX/>
+
+Bug report:
+
+
+What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+1. Click  \"Remote server: Set up a repository on a remote server using ssh.\" 
+2. Enter hostname and different username than currently logged in user
+3. Click check this server
+
+
+What is the expected output? 
+
+> I expected to see the next step in the remote repo creration process.
+
+What do you see instead?
+
+
+> Failed to ssh to the server. Transcript: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Permission denied, please try again. ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Permission denied, please try again. ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Permission denied (publickey,password). 
+
+
+What version of git-annex are you using? 
+
+> git-annex: Version: 3.20130114 
+
+
+On what operating system?
+
+> OSX: 10.8.2
+
+
+
+Please provide any additional information below.
+
+> I mentioned \"with a different username\" because the assistant will allow me to create a remote repository on the same target machine when I use my normal username. I think this is most likely because I have a ssh-key setup for the account on the remote machine. However I do not want to assume anything and send you down the wrong OSX rabbit hole. 
+
+> After a little research it seems that OSX does not have a ssh-askpass
