Hi all,
i`m currently working through our templates updating and adding new ones.
I`m currently working on Centos Stream 8. I have followed the guide here
<http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/4.8/templates/_password.html#adding-password-management-to-templates>
.
However, I have an issue, once I click the password reset in Cloudstack the
UI gives me a new one, however its not changed under the VM.
Checking the logs on the VM I see:
[root@centos-8-stream-whhji ~]# cat /var/log/messages | grep 'password'

The mkpasswd error I have fixed by making sure its actually installed. but,
i`m still getting the Permission denied error on /usr/sbin/chpasswd. I have
temporarily given full permissions to the sbin folder and if I run the
script manually it runs without issue. I am running out of ideas on what to
try. Can anyone suggest anything I can try?
Thanks
