^ ^
Why the backticks around cat? The above evaluates the *local*
/root/id_rsa.pub, and then passes the result lines as arguments
(filenames) to grep on the remote machine, which of course makes no
sense...
What does the output of
ssh root@sum1 grep `hostname` /root/id_rsa.pub
display? You don't need to cat the file to grep it. Grep does
understand how to use fopen() all by itself, it does not need any help
from cat... :-)
