The Fedora-14 EC2 AMI

[Marek Goldmann]

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.
