Hi all,
Per Matt's request, I'm starting a new thread about the default user
name for Fedora cloud images. Currently it's 'ec2-user' which I don't
really like. OK, coming from the OpenStack-side of the cloud I might
be a little biased :-) Nevertheless, I think we want to achieve an end
goal of a single image that can be used in different cloud
environments rather than having different images for the different
environments. As such, the user name needs to be cloud/service
provider independent. Following the lead of Ubuntu and Debian I
propose to use 'fedora' as the default user name for F19 and going
forward.
If we have to have a default user configured in the package, then "fedora",
or "fedora-user" gets my +1.
I also agree that just using root would be easier & less confusing, since
the paswordless sudo amounts to that anyway.
