ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh(1) to log into a remote machine
|
|
(presumably using a login password, so password authentication should be
|
|
enabled, unless you've done some clever use of multiple identities). It
|
|
assembles a list of one or more fingerprints (as described below) and tries
|
|
to log in with each key, to see if any of them are already installed (of
|
|
course, if you are not using ssh-agent(1) this may result in you being
|
|
repeatedly prompted for pass-phrases). It then assembles a list of those
|
|
that failed to log in, and using ssh, enables logins with those keys on the
|
|
remote server. By default it adds the keys by appending them to the remote
|
|
user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (creating the file, and directory, if
|
|
necessary). It is also capable of detecting if the remote system is a
|
|
NetScreen, and using its 'set ssh pka-dsa key ...' command instead.
