Version: 4.3.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Here is what happens when one misspells the root password
root@veezy:~# xen-create-image --ip=X.X.X.X --size=10Gb --vcpus=3
--hostname=machine.subdomain.domain.local --dist=wheezy --pygrub
--memory=4Gb

Setting up root password
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
Sorry, passwords do not match
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
All done
See that the password setting failure is properly reported yet one is
not given the chance to type in a password again.
Of course fixing the problem is as easy as mounting the disk image,
and editing ${prefix}/etc/shadow, yet quite inconvenient and a bit
more time consumming. And it is fairly easy to fix (have successfully
patched 4.3.1-1, but important changes have been made to the code base
will provide relevant patch for current code asap).
