Disable copying secure key's to remote system
Hi,

We all know as we can connect remote system through ssh without entering username and password by copy the public key to remote host using ssh-copy-id. But my query is to i want to restrict the user as do not implement this feature.Whenever he is trying to login, he has to enter his/her credentilas. I mean permanently disable the copying secure key's. Please help me how can i restrict him.

Reg,
Mastan

I guess you could try making the file authorized_keys such that the user can read, but not modify it and also that he cannot change the access rights to that file..

More generally, you could have a look at the AuthorizedKeysFile keyword in sshd_config
