[03:12] <randomz123> Need assistance if possible.  I have a user-data configuration that I would like to pre-populate the ssh authorized_keys file - but the eventual file ends up being 0 bytes.
[03:14] <randomz123> eventual file being the .ssh/authorized_users file being 0 bytes, despite the configuration file containing the ssh key.
[14:01] <clindner3> has anyone seen the situation when a specific user is defined with an ssh key in the user-data file for cloud-init, that the user is successfully created, but the authorized_keys file is generated and is 0 bytes - https://gist.github.com/clindner3/902054b15a367f565f188c385dcb0056 I'm running out of options for debugging/understanding this.  thanks.
