[08:39] <harmw> smoser: I've got my cubietruck up&running with fedora rawhide
[08:40] <harmw> it (kernel+uboot) supports kvm/qemu now, so I should be able to launch cirros pretty easily
[08:40] <harmw> though not backed by openstack, yet
[09:16] <daxroc> Morning all
[09:29] <daxroc> How should I be generating the passwd for user-data, I've tried mkpasswd -m sha-256 password but any attempt to login with the resulting password fails ? 
[09:29] <daxroc> To login as the user I need to set a new password and then it works fine.
[13:41] <smoser> daxroc, you're trying to log in on console ?
[13:41] <smoser> or on ssh
[13:41] <smoser> via ssh you likely have to enable password auth also
[13:43] <smoser> i'd never seen 'mkpasswd' before, but from reading its man page, i'd expect it to work otherwise.
[13:45] <smoser> you'll need to make sure that whatever distro you're talking to supports shadow entries in sha-256.
[13:45] <smoser> you can probalby iterate faster by just invoking 'adduser' yourself with '--password' and seeing if you can log in then. you should see a item in the log of cloud-init (/var/log/cloud-init.log) showing how it called adduser
[14:06] <daxroc> smoser appreciate the help, I needed to change for sha-512 and enable password auth
