I want to put on the marketplace, run the script according to your requirements and get an error. How should I deal with this error? The directory in which the script is to be executed.
Thank you.

remove root password, delete not system users
also you can run https://github.com/digitalocean/marketplace-partners/blob/master/scripts/90-cleanup.sh. Please try and response with results.

Like this?
cat /etc/shadow
root:*:18694:0:99999:7:::

90-cleanup.sh 99-img-check.sh
Can I ask you one more question? Where are the two scripts to be executed on the server?

Had the same problem:

root@droplet:~# passwd --delete root
passwd: password expiry information changed.

root@droplet:~# grep root /etc/shadow
root::19906:0:14600:14:::

root@droplet:~# chage -l root
Last password change					: Jul 02, 2024
Password expires					: never
Password inactive					: never
Account expires						: never
Minimum number of days between password change		: 0
Maximum number of days between password change		: 14600
Number of days of warning before password expires	: 14
root@droplet:~# 

it seems to work only when I edit manuallt and add *:

root@droplet:~# grep root /etc/shadow
root:*:19906:0:14600:14:::

this is same as #54
