I haven't yet found any definitive answer on this using google.
It seems like the answer is no, but I need to know for sure before I go ahead and do it.
Does ssh-copy-id
append the key to authorized_keys
or does it overwrite the previous keys?
Thanks.
Addendum:
So the answer is right there in the man page. Go figure.
I guess the question can at least help fellow Google-jockeys like me who get a little too used to googling and finding tutorials (that often explain things in layman's terms for us poor folks who have only used Windows our whole lives).
