Thomas Zander 2d040a35a3 Backport patch from upstream trunk for 'hangs forever' issue
On http://sourceforge.net/p/sshpass/bugs/12/ the issue is explained:
Doing a "sshpass -p password ssh vmfreebsd10-32 -l account ls" hangs
forever.  The reason is that in this combination the prompt for the
password looks like this: "Password for account@vmfreebsd10-32:" and
sshpass checks the password against the string "assword:", so there
is no match.

This is fixed upstream in trunk, but no release has been created yet.
Import the patch into the ports tree until the next release.

Sshpass is a tool for non-interactively performing password authentication
with SSH's so called "interactive keyboard password authentication".
Most user should use SSH's more secure public key authentication instead.
