I did a complete re-installation of Slackware-14.2 on my Dell Latitude 2100 because it would not display the lilo screen after the POST. Turned out the reason was inconsistency between the order in which boot devices were listed when the F12 key was pressed when turning on the unit and the order in which they were listed in the BIOS. Whoda' thunk that? Not me!
Anywho, I'm configuring the little portable and have run into an error trying to configure ssh on it. I ran 'ssh-keygen -t ed25519' (it would not accept the -N option with the pass phrase: "too many options") and entered my pass phrase twice. Then I tried to use ssh-copy-id to copy the public key on the laptop to the server after creating an empty authorized_keys file. The attempt failed: $ ssh-copy-id rshepard@salmo /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/home/rshepard/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub" /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys Permission denied (publickey). What have I missed? Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
