Bug#866206: cdimage.debian.org: Setting root password in d-i on live image doesn't seem to work
Package: cdimage.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
Using the debian-live-9.0.1-amd64-xfce.iso image, I booted to the install
option from the syslinux menu that started up debian-installer.
I installed setting a root password, and creating a new normal user.
After installation, the root password seems unset (not in /etc/shadow),
and my newly created user in the system does not have sudo rights, leaving
no normal method for a user to escalate or log in as root.
