Public bug reported:

Guys,

If I launch an Ubuntu Trusty Instance using Heat, there is no "ubuntu"
user available.

Instead, there is a "cloud" user, without shell!

Look:

No "ubuntu" user:
---
username@kilo-1:~$ ssh ubuntu@172.31.254.158
Permission denied (publickey).
---

Instead, there is a "cloud" user without shell:
---
username@kilo-1:~$ ssh cloud@172.31.254.158
Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-57-generic x86_64)

.......

$

$ bash -i
cloud@ubuntu-1:~$ grep cloud /etc/passwd
cloud:x:1000:1000::/home/cloud:
---

No shell for "cloud" user!

But, if I launch the very same Ubuntu Trusty image, using Horizon, then,
the "ubuntu" user becomes available, without any problems.

I'm using OpenStack Kilo, on top of Trusty using Ubuntu Cloud Archives.

Trusty Image: http://uec-
images.ubuntu.com/releases/14.04.2/release/ubuntu-14.04-server-cloudimg-
amd64-disk1.img

Thanks!
Thiago
