** Description changed:
+ [IMPACT] On Windows Azure for 12.04, cloud-init fails to set right user
+ name for the sudoer.d file unless the user sets a password. This means
+ that SSH-key auth users are locked out of sudo access, effectively
+ making the instance useless.
+
+ This is critical, as instances that are affected are completely useless
+ for things requiring sudo access. There is no recovery and no work
+ around.
+
+ This only affects new instances, not existing instances. However, it may
+ affect rebundled instances.
+
+ [Test Case] Launch a new build with -proposed using SSH-only
+ authentication. The defined user in the launch should be able to "sudo
+ -i".
+
+ [Regression Potential] Regression potential is low, as this fixes a
+ completely broken feature.
+
+ [Original Report]:
Launcing an instance like this:
azure vm create --vm-size=extrasmall --vm-name=smoser0912pr-hack2
"--location=East US"
--ssh-cert=/home/smoser/.ssh/id_rsa-smoser-az...@brickies.pem --no-ssh-password
--ssh=22

results in being prompted for a password on sudo.
