First time failure, second time partial success

[tremby]

After getting the script working and posting the findings in #5, I ran the script again on a different server (one I had never connected to, and so I had to accept the server key, if that makes a difference). I typed the password as requested and it exited with code 1 and no output again. I tried to log in with ssh and it prompted me for the password again. On logging in I inspected authorized_keys and saw that it had a bizarre line as follows (with my correct public key partially replaced with stars and a seemingly corrupt key (or is it the server's key? transmountain is part of the hostname) partially replaced with hashes):

ssh-rsa AAAAB3N#####7PHLTOun transmountain-rsa-key-1347299094ssh-rsa AAAAB3N*****7eqiY5 /Users/tremby/.ssh/id_rsa

I then logged out and ran the script again. This time it exited with code 1 again, but when I tried to ssh in to the server again, it worked. Now there is a second line in authorized_keys identical to the tail section of the above:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3N*****7eqiY5 /Users/tremby/.ssh/id_rsa

No idea what is happening here. If you request I could remove my keys and acceptance of the server's key and try again.

I have not seen that before. If you could remove them and try again just to confirm? Thanks.

I guess there's no harm in showing my public key here. The line I see this time, on getting the same exact behaviour on a different server, is:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCXOJLR6FHQ9ZelpY12814eozkXz/q5vBZ84Z22cuLdq++ZH6bvnXmL6bo5NaIlwNKEEO8sNTQM0yinDWRPKViS2SGETbE3uVfrq8v/yNoVlNdEGUctwYRYKmFJeSqcCh3g9rVqgOj8a9ilZhmNQz18SC2drT5Xw3Qu/bMY0FoaofWNQO25NyPP+kqjElrFS6emsqKQp4ratrKLgYaEIcgsR+FDv+t3B74hw6tcoTpBN9LajUmsBprhYTJ4tbcEGO4fOjcTPvhtI+0dBw4u5OlJaTuWNNpDVw5597HH60R7n2IP11X34//ksr4sTCznkLCHweG/nKN9v3mx85tTGkQF sma-rsa-key-1367604859ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDFV+oz5ZF5A2RZv3hQ+z2Z34YB6QhWqzlWdKr2dV8MO+4qHVEsKCUoqus/FeZy/+fRPPy6rpof5kjwFf4wcRbRRqjdKZXrBoBx0TaCzODPlCyu3HUBTyuXSjkEdalAAcPj8GjLyBRPzH1nrl/+vgKGbh6+MrrVcEUiUmbIkQi/a67KKe8XG3e/RTZzYPONWHpZ6oeVWhqKkF8x6Bd14vg3kOSNddURY4+xp7GJmY8Zhy8v1M8UAtDk7mgbUHbPo2eo8uk7Y+B5G12M3tMFL/Ika++pTGSC/I/IGj9hHsJkg2JrRmFXVrmW6VgbpVMPKkUz5c7GkGjh3XKU4b7eqiY5 [email protected]

Again, running the script again gives another exit code 1 but the correct line is written to authorized_keys.

It seems possible it's to do with accepting the server's key in the same session.

Hmm thanks for your help. I will see if I can repro.

I also have this issue. Running ssh-add -L yields:

ssh-rsa AAAA*****ZFhN /Users/******/.ssh/id_rsa

...Which is causing the issue. For this script to work properly, I would expect the command to yield the same thing as cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, which is:

ssh-rsa AAAA*****ZFhN andrewsf@andrewsf
