--- Comment #8 from Philip Hands <[email protected]> --- As you can see from the code, the man page is in need of an update. The new default is to use the most recent (in ls -t terms) *.pub file. This allows one to touch the .pub that you most want sent and make that the default. id* strikes me as rather too likely to send the private key to a host that you might not trust. I can certainly strip out the -cert.pub's from the list though. We could add an option to disabled the populate_new_ids behaviour for people that might be in a hurry, and that don't want those checks, but it seems quite nice for the occasional user to have that default. I guess the multiple runs was a attempt to assume as little about the far end as possible -- I'll look at that. As for assuming that the far end is OpenSSH -- really that's just falling back to the assumptions that everyone has been using in the current ssh-copy-id. Do we really care if the far end is non-free ssh, as long as it works with the same format of authorized_keys? I suppose the comment should actually say something along those lines instead though. I'll have a look at it later today if I have chance on the trains I'll be on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
