+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I can't seem to add the rsync.net remote on an OS X 10.9 machine running git-annex assistant version 5.20140128-g0ac94c3. The process complains about a missing /usr/libexec/ssh-askpass in the logs, and after a few retries rsync.net locks me out. This program doesn't exist on my system.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+1. Click "Add another repository"
+2. Pick rsync.net
+3. Enter the credentials I got in the email from rsync.net
+4. Click "Use this rsync repository"
+
+The resulting logs will state that `/usr/libexec/ssh-askpass` can't be found.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+git-annex assistant version 5.20140128-g0ac94c3 on OS X 10.9.1.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+I think I have found a workaround in creating that program as a shell script which echoes my password to stdout, but can't test right now because rsync.net have wisely ratelimited my password login attempts. (-:
+
+I'll update this page if I can confirm the workaround works.
+
+(I fully intend to roll that password as soon as I'm in, so no worries about a stale password falling into evildoers' hands.)
