Bug#510932: ssh-copy-id can't handle -p 2222 (or other ssh arguments)
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:5.1p1-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id
ssh -p 2222 root@plum works, but ssh-copy-id doesn't:
$ ssh-copy-id -p 2222 root@plum
Bad port 'umask 077; test -d .ssh || mkdir .ssh ; cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
The problem is that ssh-copy-id assumes that only the first argument
is significant, which in the above example is not true. I think there
would be similar problems using -l root instead of root@.
