Right now the spark-ec2 scripts assume that you have root access and a lot of internal scripts assume have the user's home directory hard coded as /root. However all the Spark AMIs we build should have root ssh access -- Do you find this not to be the case ?
You can also enable root ssh access in a vanilla AMI by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config and setting "PermitRootLogin" to yes Thanks Shivaram On Mon, Apr 7, 2014 at 11:14 AM, Marco Costantini < silvio.costant...@granatads.com> wrote: > Hi all, > On the old Amazon Linux EC2 images, the user 'root' was enabled for ssh. > Also, it is the default user for the Spark-EC2 script. > > Currently, the Amazon Linux images have an 'ec2-user' set up for ssh > instead of 'root'. > > I can see that the Spark-EC2 script allows you to specify which user to > log in with, but even when I change this, the script fails for various > reasons.
