Bug Description

Binary package hint: cloud-init

Attempting to log in to the "root" user on an Ubuntu AMI returns the message:

  Please login as the ubuntu user rather than root user.

This has two minor problems:

1. There is a missing "the" before the word "root".

2. Adding quotes around the usernames would reduce confusion (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ec2-init/+bug/506981/comments/7)

Proposed new messaging:

  Please login as the user "ubuntu" rather than the user "root".

or

  Please login as the "ubuntu" user rather than the "root" user.

The first one is slightly clearer to me, but both get the message across.
