<para condition="community">If you are using Ubuntu 11.04, start by creating a directory called /var/lib/dhcp3 on your Ubuntu machine (works around a known issue with this version of Ubuntu). On all Ubuntu versions: Run “sudo update-rc.d cloud-set-guest-password defaults 98”. To test, run "mkpasswd" and check that it is generating a new password. If the “mkpasswd” command does not exist, run "sudo apt-get install whois" (or sudo apt-get install mkpasswd, depending on your Ubuntu version) and repeat.</para>
