I created a new ebs backed EC2-instance and the necessary key-pair. Now I am able to connect to the instance as ubuntu user. Once i did that I created another user and added it to the sudoers list but I am unable to connect to the instance as the new user I created.

I get the following error. I am using the same key to connect with the new user i created. Can somebody help me. Am I missing something here?
