passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
Changing password for user root.
Error: failed while preparing the image for rhel distro, err: script /setup.sh failed with exitstatus: 1, stdout: nameserver 9.9.9.9

What you expected to happen:
Changing root user password should be successful

Changing password for user root.
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

• download any 9.X image from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/279/ver=/rhel---9/9.0/ppc64le/product-software or provide download link to pvsadm command
• download latest pvsadm from https://github.com/ppc64le-cloud/pvsadm/releases or build latest binary from latest code.
• execute the pvsadm image convert command as below
  example:

pvsadm image qcow2ova  --image-name rhel-90-test --image-url 'https://access.cdn.redhat.com/content/origin/files/sha256/34/34427b7b4f775b20fb547ce8076a20d5e0425d9bb1960c4d33bfe16a0e7f4d5b/rhel-baseos-9.0-ppc64le-kvm.qcow2?user=dd127b1db16c393937fe8290dfa1e200&_auth_=1689753907_b808bbfc9a2072c109a60072f84feda5' --image-dist rhel --os-password TyBU84GrbPD75FsT --rhn-user ***** --rhn-password ******

Anything else we need to know?:
with --skip-os-password the rhel-9.x images getting converted successfully
