Public bug reported: GCE supports specifying SSH keys for an instance as a tuple of (username, key). Currently, cloud-init will add all keys to the default (ubuntu) user, regardless of the user specified in metadata.
This is problematic because there may be users in the metadata who are not intended to have sudo access but could gain sudo privileges via the ubuntu user. ** Affects: cloud-init Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
