            Bug ID: 2794
           Summary: ssh-copy-id should use the same default identity file
                    as ssh
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.6p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh-copy-id
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: krumelmonster at zoho.com

ssh-copy-id when invoked without -i will default to the most recently
created identity file while ssh defaults to ~/.ssh/id_dsa, ~/.ssh
id_ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

The expected behavior is that ssh-copy-id uses the same identity file
that ssh would use so that a successful ssh-copy-id allows pubkey
authentification without further configuration.
