I'm experiencing a strange result in using an Ubuntu AMI on EC2 that doesn't 
occur when using an Amazon Linux AMI.  Your thoughts would be appreciated!

When I create a new instance of 
ebs/ubuntu-images/ubuntu-natty-11.04-amd64-server-20110426 (ami-1aad5273), I 
pick an existing keypair.  When the new instance starts up and I attempt to 
connect (using Putty), I get an error saying "Server refused our key".  When I 
read the server log, I can see new RSA and DSA keys are being generated.  It 
appears the instance isn't using my existing key pair.

However if I spin up a new instance of the Amazon Linux AMI and follow the 
exact same procedure, I am able to connect using the existing key pair.

Is there a difference between how SSH credentials are managed for Ubuntu and 
Amazon AMI's?  Or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
