On second thought, you only get this notice if you are able to ssh to the root account with the correct private ssh key, so it's not much of a security risk to point out the username at that point.
I have seen the "ubuntu" user message help new users of the Ubuntu AMIs, so I would keep that information. If they've reconfigured the username, then it's fine to remind them of the it, or simply to return a rejection on root@, even though they're using the right ssh key. I don't even have a preferance. Probably just do whatever is easiest to implement. -- ec2-fetch-credentials lists "ubuntu" user in root authorized_keys even if ec2-config.cfg specifies another https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506981 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
