[00:18] <flaccid> develop: http://alestic.com/2009/04/ubuntu-ec2-sudo-ssh-rsync might help. by default pki is used with ssh, whats the actual problem?
[00:20] <develop> just whant to remove the pwd so i can use --user-data-file to svn update and start an app on 100 instances
[00:20] <flaccid> develop: check if rightscale free developer account includes sqs - it appears as though it might
[00:21] <flaccid> you want to remove password from passwd for root?
[00:21] <develop> it does but not with a server array :(
[00:21] <develop> yes
[00:21] <develop> or what is the best way to start an app on 100 instances
[00:22] <develop> building an image each time and adding to /etc/init.d is not so nice
[00:22] <develop> that s why i was thinking of --user-data-file
[00:23] <develop> but does this work on self build ami or just on alestic amis
[00:23] <flaccid> if you have a look at man passwd there is various switches to remove or disable the password
[00:23] <develop> k
[00:23] <flaccid> you can use a rightscript to start an app or yes you could bundle your own custom ami
[00:24] <develop> rightscript?
[00:24] <flaccid> yes in a rightscale free developer account
[00:25] <flaccid> im sure there are other options out there for non persistant appliance applications
[00:25] <develop> yes espacially during dev
[00:25] <develop> will have a look at rightscale
[00:25] <develop> attach a script to ami ...
[00:27] <flaccid> so basically its up to you how you wanna add to the ami..
[00:34] <flaccid> anything else i can answer for you?
[06:51] <develop> i bundled an image using http://alestic.com/2009/06/ec2-ami-bundle
[06:51] <develop> but the user i added is not there when i start the instance
[06:54] <develop> disregard getting tired
[06:56] <develop> thnks to alestic.com you guys rock
