Hi Folks, After a prolonged period of neglect, I've finally got round to putting the various patches I had laying around into some sort of order, and pushing them somewhere public, so it would be great if people could test them. There are two branches that I'd like people to try: https://gitlab.com/phil_hands/ssh-copy-id/-/tree/main and https://gitlab.com/phil_hands/ssh-copy-id/-/tree/bug/3201 The changes introduced in the 'main' branch are: Uses getopts rather than a hand-rolled case, which should be OK given that we now try to find something like ksh on solaris, so the reason to avoid using getopts is no longer an issue (hopefully). Supports dropbear as the remote end, so should allow keys to be installed on OpenWRT and the like. Allows a '-F' option, to specify an alternative ssh_config file. The way the command sent to the remote end is assembled has been changed, hopefully in a way that makes no difference, but it would be reassuring to discover that is still works everywhere. In addition to that, the 'bug/3201' branch adds a '-s' option, that should allow it to work when the remote end is only offering sftp. The SFTP support works by get-ing a copy of the authorized_keys file, adding keys, and then put-ing it back. This seems to raise the possibility that one could for example try this on a full filesystem, and have the result be that the file is truncated, but then not written, locking the user out. If people have the ability to test such scenarios, that would be appreciated, since I don't normally run sftp, so I'm not sure that my tests have been realistic. So, tests on solaris and the like would be great. Tests of various sftp usage would also be helpful (and will allow me to merge that into main with confidence) -- after which, I'll ask for this to be pulled into ssh. Cheers, Phil. P.S. I set up a repo on gitlab, so that people can have a more modern option for merge requests etc. and to take advantage of their CI -- my repo will continue to exist regardless: git.hands.com/ssh-copy-id -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] HANDS.COM Ltd. |-| http://www.hands.com/ http://ftp.uk.debian.org/ |(| Hugo-Klemm-Strasse 34, 21075 Hamburg, GERMANY -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
