I am trying to setup openstack using:http://devstack.org/guides/single-machine.html

After the step From here on you should use the user you created. Logout and login as that user. i am unable to proceed as i am being asked for password for stack user login. THe last line of /etc/sudoers file is stack ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Last time I tried to do all steps until running ./stack,sh using root user. I could not complete the process because of issues related to permissions. so i delted /opt/stack folder and trying to start all over again.

Logging from stack user is optional. You can use your own account to install & use devstack.

First of all you should not use stack.sh as root. create a non-root user and install devstack stack.sh.

From root user: sudo stack

then you will get into stack user and for me password is stack.

Refer this link: http://devstack.org/stack.sh.html

Hi .. I created a new stack user with $devstack/tools/create-stack-user.sh command which creates a stack user with passwordless sudo privilages. But when I do su stack , it asks for password and leaving it blank results in Authentication failure error. Any suggestions ?

Hello there. I've had the same problem. Turns out that if you run sudo su stack you are not prompted for a password and you get to switch to the stack user. I suppose it would come in hand add that to the devstack installation guide.
