Description of problem: There is a string, considered as a hash of some kind, reading "nope" in the shaddow for root. I think it should rather be "!" to explicitly disable root console login. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel-guest-image-6-6.5-20131115.0? How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. nova boot with root key injected, add floating ip 2. ssh 3. cat /etc/shaddow 4. su cloud-user su # type nope Actual results: 3) reads root:nope:16024:0:99999:7::: 4) Login denied which is OK. It should just be made sure the system is not using any default password. Expected results: 3) reads root:!:16024:0:99999:7::: 4) Login still denied Additional info:
