Title:
Set Passwords documentation describes incorrect behaviour for
`password` config key
Status in cloud-init:
Fix Released
Bug description:
In https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/modules.html#set-
passwords, we have the sentence:
If expire is specified and is set to false, then the password
global config key is used as the password for all user
accounts.
This, thankfully, is _not_ the actual behaviour; we set the given
password only on the default user.
(I'm going to fix this soon, just filing a bug because it came up mid-
code-review and I don't want to lose track of it.)
