Re: Amazon EC2: RSA Key generation

Ok, I figured out the problem: when the public key is exported to
email, there is a line break between the key and the comment, but no
space. Example:

ssh-rsa
<random RSA code>==
<random comment code>-iphone-rsa-key-todaysdate

When formatted on one line, it appears as: ssh-rsa<random RSA
code>==<random comment code>-iphone-rsa-key-todaysdate

Instead of pasting with line breaks, it should be one line with
appropriate spaces: ssh-rsa <random RSA code>== <random comment code>-
iphone-rsa-key-todaysdate

Hope this helps the others with this problem!
