I believe it was shipped with the OS: it's in my /usr/bin/ directory
which is untouched by anybody besides Apple (*).

OpenSSH & OpenSSL were last updated by Software Update & the compile
time stamp on the above & ssh-copy-id is Feb 2011.

I suppose I could dig out the package receipt from the relevant Software
Update if it is needed.

I did read the SSH man page when looking for ssh-copy-id but didn't find
it the reason being is it has its own man page `man 1 ssh-copy-id` but
not on OS X (BSD). It's present in Linux.

Cheers,

(*) apart from certain editors such as BBEdit, Interarchy, etc who
install their entirely optional command line tools by design into
/usr/bin/. However, I think one would be able to trust the likes of Rich
Siegal & Peter N. Lewis to know what they're doing.
