Service kdump propagate fails in RHEL 6

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When setting up RHEL6 clients, 'service kdump propagate' seems to fail
  • Client key gets copied over to the the kdump server
  • Keys are propagated by the 'propagate_ssh_key' function of /etc/init.d/kdump
  • The line that propagates the key: ssh-copy-id -i $KEYFILE $SSH_USER@$SSH_SERVER &>/dev/null
  • If the exit code of this command is different from 0, then an error message is printed to stdout saying that the propagation failed, even though the key gets copied over.
  • The exit code of the ssh-copy-id command (when it's run manually) is 1, despite the fact that it was able to cpy the key over.

Environment

  • RHEL 6
