The above evaluates the *local* /root/id_rsa.pub, and then passes the result lines as arguments (filenames) to grep on the remote machine, which of course makes no sense... What does the output of ssh r...@sum1 grep `hostname` /root/id_rsa.pub display? You don't need to cat the file to grep it. Grep does understand how to use fopen() all by itself, it does not need any help from cat... :-) > /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > r...@lcent01.summitnjhome.com's password: > /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub:ssh-rsa ssh-rsa > AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEApnUSYyrM96qIBZKjwSNYycgeSv/FAKE-KEY-DATA--KEY-DATA-PWReyVuOn9Fb/uH/FAKE-KEY-DATA-+ttLzUELGrfn/n+FAKE-KEY-DATA-/FAKE-KEY-DATA-/FAKE-KEY-DATA-/FAKE-KEY-DATA-== > bluethu...@lbsd8-2.summitnjhome.com==: No such file or directory > grep: r...@bt-laptop: No such file or directory > [/code] > > Ultimately, what I would like to do is script this in order to > automate this process: > > [code] > #!/bin/sh > HOSTS="sum1 sum2 virt1 virt2 virt3 virt4 virt5 virt6 virt7" > SSHDIR=~/.ssh > RSYNC=/usr/local/bin/rsync > KEYFILE=/home/bluethundr/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > CAT='/bin/cat' > GREP='/bin/grep' > > for h in $HOSTS ; do > scp $KEYFILE r...@$h:~/ > if [ $? = 0 ]; then > echo ; echo ; echo > echo "KEY TRANSFERRED TO $h" > else > echo "KEY Transfer To $h has FAILED" > exit 1 > fi > ssh r...@$h $CAT /root/id_rsa.pub | $GREP -i /root/.ssh/authorized_keys > if [ $? = 1 ]; then > ssh r...@$h $CAT /root/id_rsa.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys > if [ $? = 0 ]; then > echo ; echo ; echo > echo "KEY APPENDED TO $h Authorized Hosts" > else > echo "KEY APPEND FAILED" > fi > exit 1 > fi > done > [/code] > > This is what results from the above script: > > [code] > [bluethu...@lbsd2:~/bin]$:./key-export.sh > r...@lcent01.summitnjhome.com's password: > id_rsa.pub > 100% 417 > 0.4KB/s 00:00 > > > > KEY TRANSFERRED TO sum1 > ./key-export.sh: /bin/grep: not found > r...@lcent01.summitnjhome.com's password: > [/code] > > And I'm pretty sure I have those variables set correctly in order to > execute those commands: > > [code] > [bluethu...@lbsd2:~/bin]$:ssh r...@sum1 > r...@lcent01.summitnjhome.com's password: > Last login: Fri Sep 24 07:34:02 2010 from 192.168.1.44 > ######################################################### > # SUMMITNJHOME.COM # > # TITLE: LCENT01 BOX # > # LOCATION: SUMMIT BASEMENT # > # # > ######################################################### > > > [r...@lcent01:~]#which grep > /bin/grep > [r...@lcent01:~]#which cat > /bin/cat > [/code] > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- Get the Deepwoods Software FireFox Toolbar!
