Bug Description

This was reported by Rintcius Blok on the lxc-users mailing list. It
works correctly with precise containers, but not oneiric (on quantal
host). To reproduce:

cat > userdata.sh << EOF
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 > /ifconfig-eth0
EOF

lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n o -- --auth-key $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub --userdata ~/userdata.sh -r oneiric
lxc-start -n o

Now ~ubuntu/.ssh does not exist, so you cannot
ssh -i .ssh/id_rsa. ubuntu@<container-ip-address>

Note that /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/meta-data does have the ssh keys.

This works for me now,

sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n x1 -- -r precise --auth-key $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
