Using vsphere-iso provisioner with packer v1.4.0 am getting the following
error.
After initial reboot, packer connects and uploads files to /var/tmp. When
executing the 1st script it errors:
==> rhel-7.5-company-vmware: Waiting for SSH to become available...
==> rhel-7.5-company-vmware: Connected to SSH!
==> rhel-7.5-company-vmware: Provisioning with shell script:

Build 'rhel-7.5-company-vmware' errored: Script exited with non-zero exit
status:
I increased the default 'ulimit' from 1024 to 3072 using my kickstart file
and confirmed the change by logging into the VM during provisioning.
The /etc/sudoers file is 0440 and looks OK (it's the vendor default). In
addition, the 'jetbrains' account can 'sudo su -' with no password.
I get the same error whether I use ssh_user 'root' or 'jetbrains'. Looking
for suggestions?
