Title:
cc_set_passwords does not expire users if password given as hash
Status in cloud-init:
Fix Released
Bug description:
https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/modules.html#set-
passwords
Documentation explains three different ways of setting user password
using chpasswd but doesn't mention that they would otherwise work any
differently from one another. Passwords should by default be expired
if not specifically set otherwise in chpasswd. Although if one sets
the password as hash either in password or chpasswd list,
cc_set_passwords.py skips passwd --expire <username> completely which
doesn't match documented behaviour.

init/blob/728098325657cb2fec559cf321ccd5235e786381/cloudinit/config/cc_set_passwords.py#L260
This part only applies to users which had either plain text password
or random password set.
