I have copied my keys to many machines using ssh-copy-id<br />
<br />
If I rerun it on a host, I understand it will put my key in there twice. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
Is there a quick / easy command to determine if I already have a key on a box ? &nbsp;I was considering using scp to copy a file howver that can have some long time outs if it is a failure.. <br />
<br />
When I copy a key I have to manually type in &quot;yes&quot; to add the host to a file of machines I know.<br />
<br />
Also I have to type the password !<br />
<br />
I also need to key AIX and solaris boxes. &nbsp;Any issues with these ?<br />
<br />
Do you know a way to reduce the work of doing this ? &nbsp;I have tried passing a password in the past with some sort of script, I really would prefer my password not be in the history file.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
