Description

There is a ssh auth problem when creating a hadoop cluster from an EC2 ubuntu instance.

I've been using the same configuration file from an EC2 computer an a physical one, everything works fine in the physical one, but I keep getting this error in EC2:

Running configuration script on nodes: [us-east-1/i-c7fde5a6, us-east-1/i-c9fde5a8, us-east-1/i-cbfde5aa]
<<authenticated>> woke to: net.schmizz.sshj.userauth.UserAuthException: publickey auth failed
<<authenticated>> woke to: net.schmizz.sshj.userauth.UserAuthException: publickey auth failed

The user in the virtual machine is new and with valid .ssh keys.

The hadoop config file is (omitting commented lines):

whirr.cluster-name=hadoop
whirr.instance-templates=1 hadoop-namenode+hadoop-jobtracker,3 hadoop-datanode+hadoop-tasktracker
whirr.provider=aws-ec2
whirr.identity=****
whirr.credential=****
whirr.hardware-id=c1.xlarge
whirr.image-id=us-east-1/ami-da0cf8b3
whirr.location-id=us-east-1
