@Petr

I'm just want to report bug so in next release some other users don't face the same problem that is occurred in current release :)

I'm check available guide in Google but don't work for me so i hope in next release some end users don't face this problem again.

I use this feature every day. It is most probably not a bug, but a misconfigured system. You should check /var/log/secure on the server, ~/.ssh directory permissins and SELinux context, a content of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, ... 


$ ssh-copy-id localhost

Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'localhost'", and check in:

  .ssh/authorized_keys

to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting.

Problem is solved but wonder what is the issue i'm run the following commands and after that my problem is solved
