+1 for "fedora" user. Another example is the cirros image which also uses a "cirros" user. Also, if you try to log in as root on - I think - Ubuntu (only over SSH?), it will tell you to use the ubuntu user instead and exit. That's obviously very useful if you don't know / remember the user name. So unless we choose to enable root login, that'd be nice to have, too. -- Sandro On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 9:37 PM, Sam Kottler <skottler@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I would hardly say that "ec2-user" is standard, it's just what Fedora and Amazon Linux (maybe a few others) have used up to this point.
