Just clarify - the reason I am doing this is try to run a command line to
create a new user in inline. Also this user is meant to be a ssh user from
Packer host to VM. I am using Photon so the root shh is blocked by default.
Long story short - if provisioner shell relies on ssh between packer host
and the VM this provisioner will not work anyway. Is this true that
provisioner shell type depends on ssh?
