Ken Coar <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] | |om Priority|P5 |P3 --- Comment #1 from Ken Coar <[email protected]> --- Although creating an empty corresponding private-key file will get past the "ERROR: failed to open ID file" problem, it doesn't solve the issue -- because the empty privkey file will cause the next step to fail: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: WARNING: All keys were skipped because they already exist on the remote system. That last error message is erroneous, because the ssh *login* failed, not because the key was already in the remote host's authorized_keys file. I used to be able to use ssh-copy-id to add a colleague's public key to a remote host without having to know his private key. This change no longer allows that, and isn't controllable by options. Therefore, I consider this change a REGRESSION. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
