In the OpenStack image, the user is "debian", and that user can "sudo su" to root (and root is disabled by default). It's the same for Ubuntu (which uses "ubuntu" as a user, if I'm not mistaking). I expect that we do the same for all other Debian images. > I think cloud-init is more or less a standard for a basic Linux server > image these days. It's even a standard for Windows too! :) Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
