Failure to specify username leads to confusing error message

[mfischer-zd]

If you leave the username out from the ec2 driver configuration, the following non-helpful error message could result:

[SSH] connection failed, retrying in 1 seconds (#<Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed: Authentication failed for user #<Proc:0x00000004302470@.../ec2.rb:54>@REDACTED>

The documentation states that the default login name is "root" but that doesn't appear to result here.

This is test-kitchen 0.8.0 BTW.

Hey @mfischer-zd - can you try again with the latest release of kitchen-ec2 (0.9.0) and Test Kitchen (1.4.0)?

@tyler-ball @mfischer-zd
I have successfully tested today. If username is not specified - "root" user is used by default.
kitchen (1.4.0) / kitchen-ec2 (0.9.0).

I'm going to go ahead and close this since @dsavinkov had a successful test with 0.9 - please re-open this if you are still having issues!
