Bug Description
Binary package hint: oem-config
I've installed a clear and simply Ubuntu intrepid i386 installation, not OEM mode.
I personalize it, and I install oem-config from apt. I use it to prepair for the end users, and all the customization are preserved, but also the sudo pass.
When I use an application that require the sudo password, the password of the just created user doesn't run. The password that run was the previos (of the user created during the normal Ubuntu installation).
How can it be?
There's a workaround to solve it in the meantime?

You can't use oem-config unless you installed using OEM mode.
It's not that it preserved the first user password as such, but that it preserved the whole first user! The bug here is that it didn't tell you that there was a problem.
