Script attached.
** Attachment added: "ssh-authorize"

** Description changed:
ssh-copy-id is a great script for adding my public key to a remote
server.
I have a script in my ~/bin called ssh-authorize that does something
similar. It retrieves a key from a remote public keyserver and appends
it to .ssh/authorized_keys.
By default, it uses Launchpad.net. But the URL environment variable
could be mangled accordingly.
This script is incredibly useful for EC2 and UEC virtual machines, when
I want to give someone else access to a VM. I can trivially run:
- ssh-authorize cjwatson
+ ssh-authorize cjwatson
+
+ It also supports more than one ID as arguments. So you could just as
+ easily do:
+
+ ssh-authorize cjwatson kirkland kees
Ideally, this script would find a home in Ubuntu's openssh-server
package. If this isn't appropriate, we could find a home in cloud-init
or cloud-utils, though I suspect that many non-UEC Ubuntu users might
find it useful too.
