Take the 2-minute tour ×  Noticed from my previous question that
when trying to copy an SSH public key to a remote host via ssh-
copy-id, I am prompted for the local user password three times:
ssh-copy-id myuser@myserver myuser@myserver's password:  Why am
I being prompted three times for the local user's password? Is
that an expected behavior? Also, what is going on under the
hood??  EDIT: when using ssh, it doesn't prompt for the local
user password.. And my local password is an ordinary Linux
password of my laptop, and the remote machine is an Ubuntu box
(11.10) joined to an Active Directory Domain via likewise-open.
So myuser is actually mydomain\myuser or myuser@mydomain.com,
escaping the \ character as in my previous question.. The remote
machine /etc/ssh/sshd_config file is as follows:  # Package
generated configuration file # See the sshd_config(5) manpage
for details  # What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for Port
22 #ListenAddress :: Protocol 2 # HostKeys for protocol version
2 HostKey /etc/ssh/
