Bug#620428: ssh-copy-id: Fails if the -i argument contains a space
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:5.5p1-6
Severity: normal
If the path to the desired identity file contains a space, ssh-copy-id fails.
This is due to lack of escaping combined with the eval command on line 28:
I've worked around this by changing:
- GET_ID="cat ${ID_FILE}"
+ GET_ID="cat \"${ID_FILE}\""
(though I think that will break still if the filename is particularly obnoxious).
