Public bug reported:
When I run ssh-copy-id with the incorrect flag, I get this failure:
$ sudo bash
# ssh-copy-id -t /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub zzz...@koch.phon.ox.ac.uk
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
ssh: Could not resolve hostname umask 077; test -d ~/.ssh || mkdir ~/.ssh ; cat
>> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys: Name or service not known
#
The correct flag is "-i", rather than "-t".
Now, ssh-copy-id is a shell script, and the last line of the error
message is line 44 of the shell script. Apparently, $host is not set
and then the command line is passed to ssh as the address. It's a bit
of a mess.
ssh-copy-id should make some basic checks on its argument list.
