[Bug 1521554] [NEW] lock_passwd (default_user) vs lock-passwd (normal user)
Public bug reported:
In our use case we only have one user we create with the cloud-init
configuration file. We need a password set for this user so we
configured him as the default_user as follows:
system_info:
default_user:
name: demo
passwd: PASSWORDHASH
shell: /bin/bash
lock-passwd: False
But the password was always locked over and over again.
After some troubleshooting I figured the lock param was wrong.
Apparently for a normal user it's lock-passwd (with a hyphen) but for
the default user it's lock_passwd (with an underscore)
To me this was very confusing and I lost a lot of time on this little
difference. Is there any particular reason why the differ? Wouldn't it
be a better idea to streamline them using only one of the two options
for both?
