Title:
  ssh-copy-id doesn't call restorecon on SELinux enabled destination
  hosts

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When using ssh-copy-id to copy a public key to a SELinux enabled
  destination host (like a CentOS 6 default install) the resulting
  ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the SELinux box does not have the right
  labelling :

  # ll -Z .ssh/authorized_keys 
  -rw-------. root root unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 .ssh/authorized_keys

  While it should be :

  # ll -Z .ssh/authorized_keys 
  -rw-------. root root unconfined_u:object_r:ssh_home_t:s0 .ssh/authorized_keys

  Comparing the CentOS version of ssh-copy-id with the one from Ubuntu shows that the CentOS version appends the new key(s) and calls restorecon if the binary is present (test -x /sbin/restorecon && /sbin/restorecon .ssh .ssh/authorized_keys).
