SSH-Copy-ID Being prompted for password

DustinB3403

Okay, so I'm nearing my wits end at the moment as I know this works elsewhere without issue.

 ssh-copy-id -i id_rsa.pub admin@target-workstation
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "id_rsa.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
Password:

That is what I'm getting, tapping enter 3 times, I get 3 Password: entries, and then I'm prompted for the remote computer ssh password.

What am I missing?`

Okay, never mind, it worked just fine on another computer, using the same Ethernet adapter. . .

I did have a single entry for an known_host, but it was for the original computer i was testing with. Not sure why it would get all screwy on me, since it IS that host.

But whatever.

What I've seen is that ssh-copy-id will request your password since the remote machine doesn' thave you ID. After entering your password, it transfers the id, and you should be good to go.

Which password, the password for the local server that I'm running the copy from, the user password for that server?

The user password for the remote server.

That makes literally no sense, as it asks for the remote computer credentials after the 3rd Password prompt. . .
