RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

use cd; instead of ~/

Description of problem:

After RHBA-2015-1335 (exec sh -c '' wrapper) ssh-copy-id fails with shells unaware of ~/, such as SUNWbash on SunOS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

openssh-5.3p1-111.el6.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

$ ssh-copy-id user@host
Password:

where `sh` @host doesn't understand '~/'

Actual results:

mkdir: Failed to make directory "~/.ssh"; No such file or directory
sh: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys: cannot create

Expected results:

ssh-copy-id succeeds

Additional info:

Proposed patch based on upstream approach attached.

Thanks for the report. This change looks ok. Fedora, upstream nor RHEL7 are not using ~ signs either.

I use Fedora 22 with openssh-clients-6.9p1-12.fc22.x86_64.

In this version of ssh-copy-id the `cd;` command is missing. This breaks ssh-copy-id when `~/.bash_profile` cd's into another directory.

Maxim. This is completely unrelated. Also Fedora 22 is EOL [1], therefore not updated anymore. Exactly this use case is already fixed in Fedora 23+ if I am right.
