   Modified files:
     security             Makefile
   Added files:
     security/ssh-copy-id Makefile pkg-descr
     security/ssh-copy-id/files ssh-copy-id ssh-copy-id.1

What special functionality does this tool offer that goes beyond
simple copying/appending the key bu hand to ratify having it in the
ports?

You need to enter password at least twice in order to place it to
remote host manually: for copying the public key (or do it via
clipboard) and for logging in in order to create .ssh directory (if
it is missing) and append the key.

I ended up with having similar script.

ssh-copy-id is part of many linux distros and various documentations.
It's probably the best known script for that particular task (google
for ssh-copy-id).

It's simplicity is by no means a reason for not adding it to the tree.

This is very good explanation which answers all my questions.  :-)

Ahhhhhhhh .... peace and harmony breaking out all over the ports tree. It's a lovely thing to see. :)

Thanks Emanuel.  Perhaps it should be mentioned in the the commit log
so people like me would remain silent.

IMO pkg-descr might be a better choice. That way the information is easily available to everyone.


hth,

Doug
