[09:46] <Krikke> so how do I set the password for a user?
[09:46] <Krikke> seems whatever options I use I can't login
[09:46] <Krikke> from the tty
[09:47] <Krikke> I've managed to get ssh login working with ssh keys but if something goes wrong I can't see what's happening on the host
[09:47] <Krikke> like if there's something wrong in the configuration and I can't login with anything
[09:47] <Krikke> settings lock_passwd: false and passwd: foobar does nothing
[09:48] <Krikke> let me correct that, plaing_text_passwd: foobar
[09:48] <Krikke> plain
[09:49] <Krikke> oh hell, I had used plain_text_password ... nevermind
[09:50] <Krikke> is there some tool to validate the config?
[09:52] <Krikke> ugh, didn't work with it correctly written either
[10:05] <Krikke> the weird thing is, if I set a passwd sometimes it starts asking for it at ssh login
[10:05] <Krikke> why can't systems just work
[10:10] <Krikke> if I go in with sudo as root on the system, set the passwd then I can login from tty1
[10:13] <Krikke> I even tried copy pasting the pw hash from /etc/shadow but nothing
[10:13] <Krikke> doing the manual thing with sudo just beats the purpose of this tool
[10:28] <Krikke> not being able to login without ssh makes debuggin hell
[11:23] <Krikke> maybe I'm using the tool for something it's not supposed to do
[11:23] <Krikke> but feels like this is meant to deploy an image and then you ssh in and apply configuration after that with some other tools
[11:42] <meena> Krikke, what do your log files say?
[11:44] <meena> anyway, i apply the main part of my configuration with puppet, but not ssh stuff
[11:45] <Krikke> the point is, I can't be arsed to mount the filesystem to see the log files, I am recreating it every time
[11:45] <Krikke> if I can't log in, what use are the log files to me?
[11:47] <Krikke> it's a really cumbersome way to debug
[12:37] <meena> if i can't see log files, it's really hard to guess what the issue may be
[12:38] <Krikke> that's my point
[12:38] <Krikke> I can't access them
[12:40] <Krikke> easily
[12:42] <meena> i thought you got ssh access?
[12:42] <Krikke> yeah sometimes
[12:42] <Krikke> if I'm lucky to get a config that works
[12:43] <Krikke> I can't view logs from a volume that has been destroyed
[12:43] <Krikke> so I can only get logs from last boot
[12:43] <Krikke> and if I can't ssh in then that goes out of the window
[13:24] <meena> Krikke, so what's your config look like, exactly?
