Want to change the password of root and vcap separately

[maximilien]

@mattcui do you have (or are working on) PR for this?

[mattcui]

@maximilien , haven't, just want to see if they would like to accept this idea before implementation.

[cppforlife]

Sure. Let's expose this configuration under env.GetRootPassword() (would read root_password off of the env struct;

bosh-agent/settings/settings.go

Lines 100 to 102 in 533ac36

	type BoshEnv struct {
	Password string `json:"password"`
	}

). If it's not specified in the env use fallback to env.GetPassword().

@cppforlife In general, we don't change root password, so I think we could make a bit change on your idea, if the root's password is set in env, agent will retrieve and set it as new root password, but if there isn't, agent should not change root's password. How about that? Thanks.

@mattcui this is open for contribution so this means the BOSH team and @cppforlife wants you or anyone to submit a PR and they will consider it.

[mattcui]

@maximilien @cppforlife , I already submitted PR 32. Please review. Thanks.

closing this issue in favor of discussion in pr#32.
