@kwambe Without having password enabled locally on the client ssh configuration, your 'ssh-copy-id' doesn't work. It's probably almost identical to scp, which also does't work.
So the only fix is for the local client to have it's config changed. And . . ., I haven't seen a config file in my ~/.ssh directory, so so far, that config has to be changed system wide on my box. And yes, I'm a learner. Been one for 55 years. On Wednesday, June 4, 2014 9:31:32 PM UTC-7, Dennis Gearon wrote: > > I'm running the centos puppet enterprise vm in Virtualbox on Ubuntu.
