If you intended to deploy jars to the repo or update the site,
you need to copy your private keys for people.apache.org 
over to ~/.ssh and update ~/maven-2.0.6/conf/settings.xml
to specify user name and key location.

    <server>
      <id>logging.repo</id>
      <username>USERNAME for people.apache.org</username>
      <privateKey>/home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa</privateKey>
      <passphrase></passphrase>
    </server>
    <server>
      <id>logging.site</id>
      <username>USERNAME for people.apache.org</username>
      <privateKey>/home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa</privateKey>
      <passphrase></passphrase>
    </server>

You should test your ssh connection to people.apache.org before
attempting a deployment like:

$ ssh -l USERNAME people.apache.org
