Hey all, So, spent yesterday messing around with it, if I run wget -q -t 3 -T 20 -O - --header "DomU_Request: send_my_password" $192.168.81.1:8080. Replace $PASSWORD_SERVER manually it shows nothing.
[image: image.png] but this behaviour seems normal as a working template does not respond either. I have also noticed that the leases file in /var/lib/dhclient doesnt generate till you run dhclient (this is fine I can figure that out later) but running reset password from cloudstack doesn't actually change it. Only only thing I have done is a symbolic link on the script from the init.d folder to rc0.d folder (I had to do this with ubuntu so assumed I would here too) any troubleshooting tips anyone can offer?
