Description

The root password is not getting set during the capture of Linux images. It is being left as the last random password generated when the image was loaded.

The root account's password is set for Windows images before capture. This is useful for troubleshooting images which cannot be logged into via SSH using a key after the image loads.

It would be helpful to set the root password for Linux images to the same password as is used for Windows images before capture.
