and maybe don't even know why
Because they didn't create a user? Are there actual complaints from a customer about this? The issue has a slightly artificial touch.
Feel free to consider me a user. I wasted ~1 hour of my life on this. Given who I work for I still stick with SUSE, real customers might just not tell you and walk away. (In reply to Stefan Schubert from comment #16)

Yes, it works for local login. But it won't work for headless systems. Imagine the following:
1) System is headless, ssh access only 2) You install with usessh=1 using ssh from a remote system 3) You skip user creation OK, but how have you managed to skip the root password frame after you have skipped the user creation ? I cannot continue without a given root password. So at least a root login is available after installation. I have tested LEAP15 because Steffen fix is still not available. P.S.: You can also call me if you want. Perhaps I am understanding something wrong :-)
Yes, the root password is set, but you can not log into the system as root regardless, because ssh now refuses to allow password based authentication for root. So if usessh=1 and no user was created, you are 99.9% sure the system will be unusable. What I'm trying to say is that we should be user friendly enough to tell the user about this case before they run into it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
