Hello!

I have a problem, i have try 12.04 and 13.10 and get same error
[21/Dec/2013:00:49:57 +0100] "GET /MAAS/metadata//2012-03-01/user-data HTTP/1.1" 404 181 "-" "python-requests/1.2.3 CPython/2.7.5+ Linux/3.11.0-12-generic"

that error coming when the node starts up from the first time, and the node cant get user-data file from server.

some more information from the clients/node that run the cloud-init

Hi, i see two possible explanations for this:
a.) this is a bug in maas either in configuration or in maas proper. cloud-init only tries to get urls that maas told it to get.
b.) this is a dupe of bug 1172742.

I believe it to be 'b', which woudl indicate it is fixed in trusty.

a full cloud-init.log would also indicate if 'b'.

for now, i'm duping this to that. if you find otherwise, please un-dupe or comment.
