Comment 72 for bug 1569237

Well that was fun. I was reading the comments to see if I could add anything new to the discussion, and I saw I already had. Nearly a year ago.

As others have noted, public vagrant boxes are expected to have a user of vagrant, whose password is vagrant. See the linked docs in previous comments.

Also as other have noted, the IRC discussion that was linked was about configuration management software being part of the box. Not about what the default username and password should be.

Ubuntu Devs, could you please explain the reasoning behind the default "ubuntu" user and the randomized password?

Thank you.
