ssh-copy-id not accepting port other than default

When I was copying my ssh id to my client machines using ssh-copy-id, I am unable to copy to hosts where ssh-server running on different port.

After a long search i found there is a bug already raised in Debian bug report #431731.

Cheers for debian :)

using patches provided in the bug report I patched my ssh-copy-id and I was able to fix my issue

I would like to share the patched ssh-copy-id file. To avoid the conflicts I have named the script as ssh-copy-id-new.

Download the script from below mentioned site.

Copy the script to /usr/local/bin directory 

# cp ssh-copy-id-new  /usr/local/bin

Change script permission to be executable 

# chmod +x ssh-copy-id-new

Now run the ssh-copy-id-new with port number

# ssh-copy-id-new -p 28 -i ~/ssh-id user@remote_server
