I just logged into an Ubuntu 14.04 instance and in the home folder there is a user "azureuser" (yes, this is an Azure VM) with four items in it:
.ssh (folder) .bash_logout (file) .bashrc (file) .profile (file)
This user does not exist on any of my other Ubuntu VMs including the server that I created this image from.
Here is the .profile contents:
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi
fi
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
While I didn't use the "quick create" option I did create this VM using the new Preview Portal and that might account for the creation of that username.
Does anyone know where this came from and/or if it's something that needs to be there?
