Fixed In Version: openssh-5.3p1-118.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the ssh-copy-id utility was unable to copy the SSH key to machines that used a shell that did not recognize the "~/" notation for home directories, such as the SUNWbash shell on SunOS systems. Attempts to use ssh-copy-id failed with the following error message: mkdir: Failed to make directory "~/.ssh"; No such file or directory sh: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys: cannot create The ssh-copy-id code has been modified to avoid using "~/" when referring to a home directory. As a result, copying SSH keys works as expected in the described situation.
