[one-users] Random password on CONTEXT

[André Monteiro]

Hi Ricardo,

Try to use variables in context section, for example you can bind a
pseudo-random password using several context variables:

CONTEXT = [
  files = "/service/init.sh /service/resolv.conf"
  hostname   = "$NAME-$VMID",
  ip_private = "$NIC[IP, NETWORK=\"public net\"]",
  user = oneadmin,
  user_pw= "MyPass-$NAME-$VMID"
]
Hope it helps,
