Description Miroslav Vadkerti 2011-08-19 06:20:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
# ssh-keygen (use defaults)
# ls .ssh
id_rsa  id_rsa.pub
# useradd user
# echo user | passwd --stdin user 
# ssh-copy-id user@localhost
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found

snip from ssh-copy-id:
ID_FILE="${HOME}/.ssh/identity.pub"

should be
ID_FILE="${HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"

If the ssh-keygen command creates by default id_rsa the ssh-copy-id should id_rsa.pub use as default too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssh-4.3p2-72.el5_7.5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see description
  
Actual results:
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found

Expected results:
No error and ssh-copy-id copies id_rsa.pub successfully

Additional info:
This is not a regression
