Public bug reported:

In https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/examples.html (line
20)

Does 'passwd' field in config file work?

I tried with below config


Content of cloud-config.ci
```
hostname: dev-host

users:
    - name: root
      lock-passwd: false
      passwd: $1$root$1fvaXuILgb4rdRlHdQ80N/

```

And did - 'cloud-init --file ./cloud-config.ci init'

I generated hash of password using below command:
pass=(echo "password" |  openssl passwd -1 -stdin -salt root)
And I don't see anything in logs regarding password.

If I use plain_text_passwd or hashed_passwd in my config file, I see
some log message about password.

Attaching log tarball.
