Hiya.
Yes, I'm trying to specify the key with -i, I've used the keypair I
launched the instance with, and my id_rsa key, and all the other keys
in .ssh for good measure.
Also, the ubuntu@ user connects fine with no key specified, and it
defaults to id_rsa. I presumed as I copied authorized_keys from
/home/ubuntu/.ssh/ to /home/kolo/.ssh/ and ensured correct perms that
maybe its something other than the keys?
Thanks loads for your swift reply.
Kolo.
