| Jun 17, 2019 at 18:48 | comment | added | Stato Machino | Thanks for trying it from a MAC. In my Centos7 VM it produces no error and puts a private and public key in the user's ~/.ssh/ folder with the names root-key and root-key.pub, as the ssh-keygen -f examples expect. | |

| Jun 17, 2019 at 3:28 | comment | added | Stato Machino | @ctrl-alt-delor: I appreciate your point-- that there's no 'necessary' relationship between two users on one (or two) control (source) machines who want to SSH into a server(target) machine. However my edits may prove that there can be some unexpected relationships created by the normal SSH command process. | |
| Jun 17, 2019 at 3:24 | comment | added | Stato Machino | @kenster: thanks for noticing that I left out some details and left over some others - detailing now. | |
| Jun 15, 2019 at 22:38 | comment | added | ctrl-alt-delor | There is no relation between a user on one machine and another, except that ssh fills in the user name in userName@machineName, if one is not specified, using the current user-name. | |
| Jun 15, 2019 at 22:14 | comment | added | Kenster | "the procedures fail when i try to copy a self-generated id_rsa.pub file..." Please edit your question to show exactly what command(s) you are running and exactly what happens, including any error messages. You don't need to be root on the mac to ssh into a remote host as root. | |
