OK, so I ran this command and got this response on the target server:

[root at web ~]# ssh-copy-id -i /root/ssh1103.pub root at 192.168.200.45
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/root/ssh1103.pub"
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
root at 192.168.200.45's password:

Number of key(s) added: 1

Now try logging into the machine, with:   "ssh 'root at 192.168.200.45'"
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.

BUT, when I run this command, I'm still prompted for a password:

[root at web ~]# ssh root at 192.168.200.45
root at 192.168.200.45's password:

Sorry about this guys!
