I want to be able to have several users log in to an instance of Ubuntu 10.04 hosted on Amazon EC2 based on Ubuntu provided AMI images. The default user is "ubuntu." I'm wondering if there is a way to add users so that they can log in remotely.

Change PasswordAuthentication to yes in /etc/ssg/sshd_config
