Hi, Updates to cloud-init have made the old way of using the bash script obsolete in CentOS 7 and other distros. To get it working all you need to do is replace "set-password" line, i.e.: sed -i s/"set-passwords"/"[set-passwords, always]"/g /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
Check my template here http://dl.openvm.eu/cloudstack/config/centos/centos7-kvm.cfg Swen , you should update your templates as well. -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
