upstream and man page is a little inconsistent but we decided to use lower case yum in sentences.

I adjusted it a bit to make it work in the PDF.

For html this is hard as it changes depending on screen size, ratio, and browser window size. If you minimize the Table of Contents (ToC) on the left it should be OK on smaller screens (press the X).

Improved that bit

Have to get back to this bit in the next post.

Re:

The ssh-copy-id man page says:

 "It then assembles a list of those that failed to log in, and using ssh, enables logins with those keys on the remote server.  By default it adds the keys by appending them to the remote user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (creating the file, and directory, if necessary)"


That sounds to me like it will copy all public keys that are required, but not yet installed.


Then the man page mentions: 

-i identity_file 
Use only the key(s) contained in identity_file
<snip>
The default_ID_file is the most recent file that matches: ~/.ssh/id*.pub,

That sounds like what the you are reporting.

-----------------

In the guide we currently have:

 To copy the public key to a remote machine, issue a command in the following format:

 ssh-copy-id user@hostname

This will copy all ~/.ssh/id*.pub public keys. Alternatively, specify the public keys file name as follows:

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@hostname

This will copy the content of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the machine to which you want to connect. If the file already exists, the keys are appended to its end.


---------------------

So, if I understand correctly, "This will copy all ~/.ssh/id*.pub public keys" could be changed to "This will copy all ~/.ssh/id*.pub public keys not yet installed"


I will ask a colleague to confirm.

Thank you

Developer says:

"It will try to copy only the newest public key. Newest means with the latest
modification time. And it won't copy the key if it's already in authorized
keys."

So I will change:

"This will copy all ~/.ssh/id*.pub public keys" to

 "This will copy the most recently modified ~/.ssh/id*.pub public key if it is not yet installed"


Thank you

Stephen:  Thanks for following up on these. I can confirm this is the behaviour that I'm seeing here. Sorry for the noise.
