spaces in the vm_password will cause root to have no password

[calvinhp]

Setting the vm_password to a value like "change me" will result in root having no password on boot of the VM.

This could probably be fixed by adding quotation marks around "$1" in mkvm.sh.functions:
f_set_password() ## $1 password $2 mount point ##
{
echo "$1" | pw -V ${2}/etc/ usermod root -h 0
}

Could you try this and let me know if it resolves it?

Thanks!

Did you have a chance to try this?

I just tested and if I put a space in the password, the resulting password for root is empty, but if I take the space out it is set correctly with that change to the code.
