The Fedora-14 EC2 AMI

[Binbin Wang]

Hi Cloud List,

I got the EC2 Fedora AMI info from the following page,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG/EC2_Images

And I tried the Fedora-14-64bit AMI, ami-487c021a
http://aws.amazon.com/amis/9831751792251868?_encoding=UTF8&queryArg=s...

However, I failed to ssh to the instance with key. I got the following 
error messages,
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).

But I use the same key pair to other instance, which is created by other 
AMI. I can ssh login the instance successfully.

Are there any problems of the AMI fedora-14-64bit? Or anything I missed? 
Any suggestions will be much thankful and appreciated! :)

Regards & Thanks!
Binbin

Are you using root? Try ec2-user instead.

Yes, I used the 'root' user...

But I got the same error messages with the 'ec2-uer'...
$ ssh -i key_file ec2-user@instance -v

It worked for me using the same AMI ID that you did.

Use sudo after you log in to get root access.

Thanks Marek, while I changed the passwd of the root user, I still need the
key to ssh login the system?

Are there any configuration I need to change? Then I can log in the system
only with my root credential, instead of the key pair?

Regards & Thanks!

Binbin,

Password authentication is disabled for our AMIs. If you want to enable it you need to
modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and set:

PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitRootLogin yes

We strongly do not recommend it as it is a quite big security risk. Use it at your own
responsibility.
