Stay in the loop…

Follow the Tweets.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

What others think

Why not use built in `ssh-copy-id` command?

# 1 Does not set the permissions to the .ssh directory (700) or to the authorized_keys file (600).

Many SSH daemons are configured in such a way that permissions must be set in such a manner, else the files are ignored. While this may work great on a home linux box, it does not work for enterprise level *nix networks.

# 2 If the key is already present on the target , it will be duplicated. Again, fine for home use, but not enterprise.

As others have suggested, in the very least, use ssh-copy-id.

ssh-copy-id sets the permissions on the file properly if it does not exist. Unfortunately, it too will make duplicate copies if the key already exists.

I don't have a '1-liner' for this one.

What I do have is a 165 line function that resolves all of these issues and has a 'preview' mode. OFC, commandlinefu is not the place for such a function ;)
