Let's make use of our own credentials infrastructure in our tools: let's hook up systemd-sysusers with the credentials logic, so that the root password can be provisioned this way. This is really useful when working with stateless systems, in particular nspawn's "--volatile=yes" switch, as this works now: # systemd-nspawn -i foo.raw --volatile=yes --set-credential=passwd.plaintext-password:foo For the first time we have a nice, non-interactive way to provision the root password for a fully stateless system from the container manager. Yay!
