ssh-copy-id ask for password
1
I created user and generated key with this commands
root# mkdir /usr/share/foreman/.ssh
root# chmod 700 /usr/share/foreman/.ssh
root# chown user:user/usr/share/foreman/.ssh
root# su user -s /bin/bash
user$ ssh-keygen
And then tryed to copy key (on same server) between user and root
user$ ssh-copy-id root@hostname.com
user$ ssh root@hostname.com
But when tryint to ssh-copy-id root is asking for password. Don't know why.
Found on internet commenting UsePAM can fix the issue, but did not worked for me.
#UsePAM yes
I have also in my sshd_config this option allowed
PasswordAuthentication yes

The command
ssh-copy-id root@hostname.com
works by SSHing into the server and copying your SSH public key(s) to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. If you don't already have public-key authentication, you will be asked for a password when SSHing into the server during this.

You're trying to log into root with a password, by default this isn't allowed. On the server in/etc/ssh/sshd_config, what isPermitRootLoginset to?
– steeling

there is commented#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password

The default value isprohibit-password. This means that SSHing into a server as root is allowed, but password authentication is explicitly not allowed. Either you can change this tono(NOT recommended), or you can manually copy the public key part of your key (ending in.pub) into/root/.ssh/authorized_keyson the server.
