Hi,
anyone knows the default root password of Cloudmin images? When I install a new Xen instance, for example based on "CentOS 5.4 Base" I set-up authentication via SSH-Key, but "root" user have a password:
[root@vm1 ~]# head /etc/shadow root:017dvyMUUkZiI:14069:0:99999:7:::
what is these password?
You need to specify a root password when you setup a VPS
Well if you can login as root using the ssh keys its just a simple matter of changing the password.
You don't need todo that.
When you create a XEN VPS through CloudMin, you'll be presented with an option to specify a password. Just type in the desired root password :)
