When creating a machine with the following userdata:
```
#cloud-config
chpasswd:
list: |
ubuntu:passw0rd
ssh_pwauth: True
```
cloud-init will fails if the machine does not have openssh installed on it. That happens because pasasword module will try to run the following command:
```
service ssh restart
```
Which will fail if the machine does not have openssh installed.
How to reproduce:
Just launch an lxd vm with the provided userdata using the following image as base: `images:ubuntu/16.04/cloud`
