ssh-copy-id results in immediate lockout
I can pull detailed logs if it would help, but the basic use case seems consistent with each of the ~half-dozen CL hosts I've deployed in the cloud:
- SSH to a remote host using password auth for the normal installer-created user, then log out: ✅
- Run
ssh-copy-idto install the local client (ed25519) SSH public key intoauthorized_keyson the same host - ...watch the copy hang at
INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed..., after which tallow has banned the client IP: 😢
I'm guessing there's a logfile parsing issue where the handshake used to query existing keys appears as a failed auth and results in the ban, but this exact workflow is part of how I bootstrap a new server or workstation so it's honestly a PITA that tallow locks me out 100% of the time when I do it, after which I have to log in via the actual server console and whitelist client IPs and flush firewall rules to unlock my access.
I'd need to see the actual journal log entries to debug this issue and come up with a fix.
