(solved) "admin" SSH problems - VestaCP on Debian 8 -AWS EC2
I'm trying to install VestaCP on an Amazon Web Services EC2 Instance. Installed Debian 8 from Amazon Market place, which creates the instance with "admin" as default login user.
Now I can successfully install VestaCP with vst-install.sh --force but then it washes away the "admin" user's profile and RSA keys. I took backup of the public Key before installing the second time and restored it but now when I login using it, it shows
Using username "admin"
Server refused our key
Any pointers on how to get around?

Add a key for root? Check the SSHd config?
create another user and add to admin/sudo group
Ah well I solved it. Somehow the pubKey that I copied wasn't complete (wonder how).
I used the command
ssh-keygen -yto retrieve the pubKey from my PEM file, put that in the authorized_keys and it worked flawless.Ref: Retrieving the Public Key for Your Key Pair on Linux
Glad you were able to solve it.
Debian thnx.
Overused joke. Boooooo!!!
