   *ssh-copy-id* is a useful new command to me... copies over my id_rsa.pub to a remote machine's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys !debian #linux

     @dwa awesome! the only way I knew to do that before was using the Seahorse GUI

     @dwa my only problem with ssh-copy-id is, AFAIK, that you can't specify a port. Some servers try to deter script kiddies with odd ssh ports.

     @maco previously I was doing it manually... scp the key, ssh to the machine, cat *key* >> .ssh/authorized_keys... this is a nifty shortcut!

     @losinggeneration true... I use on machines listening on port 22 on LAN - but external I use non-standard ports/forwarding on router for ssh

     @losinggeneration ssh-copy-id and non-standard sshd port... fix: use quotes http://www.mikegerwitz.com/2009/10/07/ssh-copy-id-and-sshd-port/

     @dwa heh, yeah, that makes sense now that I know it's just a shell script. I never really investigated too far. Thanks for the tip :)
