Re^13: [OT] A New Everything ?

root@third:/home/wilma/.ssh# echo id_rsa.pub >>authorized_keys

The authorized_keys file is not a list of filenames; it is a list of keys themselves. At this point you should just have done something akin to

$ cat id_rsa.pub > authorized_keys

HTH.

better `>>` than `>` to avoid clobbering. Alternatively ssh-add might be available.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

better >> than > to avoid clobbering. Ordinarily yes. In this case however, the file is apparently full of nonsense so clobbering is actually more desirable. Alternatively ssh-add might be available. ssh-add has no effect on the contents of the `authorized_keys` file. It is only useful for adding local keys to a local agent. 🦛	[reply] [d/l]

🤦 Yes, I misread `ssh-add` as a local variant of ssh-copy-id …	[reply]
