+1 for below... I am new to use this image, may i know the default password for root? ================================= Image logs good to the log output and console seems to wok fine. Is there a root password setup? Ssh also accepts password login per default. (My favourite would be a standard password people can login on the console, but only allow ssh login via ssh keys. ??)
-1 , I'm against this. Cloud-init and Openstack Havana seem (untested) to support setting an admin password as well in addition to the SSH key and I'd rather be able to use this feature. If the images are for Openstack then they should be so all the way. As such the SSH root login should be enabled and the root password should be randomly generated and unknown.
If anyone really wants to change the password to something known to them libguestfs can be used (e.g. virt-edit) or just boot into single user mode, though this should not be necessary as cloud-init should set the provided admin password.
