[Bug 1434273] [NEW] oem-config fails to prompt for password

[Tobin Davis]

Public bug reported:

Running a custom server installation (base server, openssh-server, build
tools, our own SDK in /opt), we have oem-config install as part of the
preseeded network installation.  Post-installation, we bypass oem-config
(alt-F2) and log in with a user created in the preseed installation.
After testing, we ensure oem-config will run (touch /var/lib/oem-
config/run) and reboot one last time to see that it starts ok, then we
power off the system, box it up and ship it to customers.

We have recently had several customers report that oem-config doesn't
prompt for a user password when prompting for a user, and in fact, when
I tested it here, I discovered that the password hash in /etc/shadow
matched the user password created by the preseed.
