Fix sudo command failed because root user password expired by password hardening feature issue. (#220)
Fix sudo command failed because root user password expired by password hardening feature issue.
#### Why I did it
some sudo command failed after enable password hardening feature:
admin@vlab-01:~$ sudo config reload -y
sudo: Account or password is expired, reset your password and try again
Changing password for root.
Current password:
This is because:
1. root user password change time is image build time.
2. password hardening feature will set expiration time smaller than 1 year, in sonic-mgmt test it's 100 days.
3. some SONiC command will run another commands, those sub-commands will run with root user.
4. any command run by 'root' user will be blocked and ask update password.
5. SONiC diabled the 'root' user, this user not have password, also can't login with SSH/Console, which means when ask change password by the sudo command, there is no way to provide the 'current' password user will be blocked there.
The only solution is to run 'sudo passwd root' command, this command will not ask current password, so user can set a new root password.
