Description of problem: ssh-copy-id tries to detect that key is already present on the remote host. It does by trying to log in there and checking for string 'Permission denied' in the error output. However one can have set custom loglevel which will not produce this output. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-clients-6.6.1p1-25.el7_2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ~/.ssh/config contains "LogLevel QUIET" for remote host 2. ssh-copy-id remote.host Actual results: WARNING: All keys were skipped because they already exist on the remote system. Expected results: asked for password and key is copied Additional info: openssh-clients-7.2p2-7.fc24 specifies log level inside ssh-copy-id
This is already fixed upstream [1] from commit in ssh-copy-id repo [2]. It sounds reasonable to fix this also in RHEL7.
