Note to self- use ssh-copy-id

25 Oct 2007

So, I work in http://rc.usf.edu. It’s quite nice.

Wanna know my first epic fail there?

for i in `cat adminhosts`; do scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub root@$i:~/.ssh/authorized_keys2; done

I clobbered all of the administrator’s sshkeys with my own. It’s all fixed, don’t worry.. for the most part. For future reference:

for i in `cat adminhosts`; do ssh-copy-id root@$i; done

All in a day’s work, apparently. No way I’m gonna be able to live that down.
