Bug Description

This applies to dev testing ami-af3fdec6

When a running instance is rebundled and run as a new instance, ssh attempts are rejected.

I tracked this down to the ec2-fetch-credentials being inside a "run_once_ever" check in /etc/init.d/ec2-init script. This means that the ssh keys are not loaded into authorized_keys file for a rebundled image.

This should be changed to "run_once_per_ami" or "run_once_per_instance" (which do the same thing).

This is fixed in ec2-init scripts 0.4.99-0ubuntu1 .

/etc/init.d/ec2-init now has:
        if run_once_per_ami ssh_authorized_keys
        then
            log_daemon_msg "Fetching EC2 SSH keys"
            if ec2-fetch-credentials 2> /dev/null
            then
                log_end_msg 0
            else
                log_end_msg 1
            fi
        fi

I've verified that inside of http://ec2-images.ubuntu.com/karmic/20090811.2/ubuntu-ec2-karmic-amd64.img.gz

Please re-open if the fix is not working.
