In Azure's latest incarnation, last couple of days, of the Suse 11 SP3 Linux image either from their gallery or quick create no longer allows superuser access. This use to work when I created instances from the image two weeks ago. Not the case now.
After creating the Linux Suse 11 instance, logged in with default azureuser. When trying to switch to root user shell by entering cmd: sudo -s it now prompts for root password instead of azureuser password. Obviously, there's no way to determine what the root password is since I didn't assign it. I still have a Suse 11 instance I created two weeks ago and that works fine in allowing superuser/root access.
Anyone know why Azure failure to correctly create the Linux instances via their automated agent system to allow initial login user to switch to superuser?
