Andy Thank you for responding. That is what I expected to find, the server's ssh key printed to the console output. But, I don't see it there. Not when using one of the Fedora 16 AMIs. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_images Here's a gist of the output of the California hosted Fedora 16 i386 AMI ami-25e0bc60. https://gist.github.com/2345554 I'm using a small instance. It this something that is a known issue? Or do people generally build their own instances using BoxGrinder? -- Alan Gutierrez - @bigeasy On Monday, April 9, 2012 at 9:56 AM, Andy Grimm wrote: > The SSH host keys are printed to the console during boot, so you can > use "euca-get-console-output <instance ID>" to see this.
