The fedora user is created by cloud init, and that creates /etc/sudoers.d/90-cloud-init-users, which looks like this: # Created by cloud-init v. 0.7.9 on Sun, 10 Dec 2017 20:17:02 +0000 # User rules for fedora fedora ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL Look at /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg for where this comes from. You can override this with your new user information when you provision the instance. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
