** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ben Howard (utlemming) ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ben Howard (utlemming) => Scott Moser (smoser) ** 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 b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-12_04_3-LTS-amd64-server-20130909-en-us-30GB smoser results in being prompted for a password on sudo.
