Bug#690230: ssh-copy-id: Work on SELinux enabled boxen
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:6.0p1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
On boxen with SELinux in enforcing mode, one needs to perform a restorecon for authorized_keys
to be usable by the ssh server. ssh_home_dir is the context on RHEL 6.
Please consider adding this in the next release as RHEL (and CentOS, I presume) ship with SELinux
in enforcing mode.
The restorecon -R .ssh might be a hammer. I can resubmit specifically targetting ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
if needed.
