title: Package a new base box
body: <p>I'm trying what should be a very simple procedure and bump into trouble.
  I wish to build a base box with some pre-installed components. The overall procedure which I'm following is as follows:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Start a VM using ubuntu/trusty64 as my base</li>
  <li>Install some new packages (postgres, apache and some apps)</li>
  <li>vagrant package
  [now to test:]</li>
  <li>vagrant box add --name new_box package.box</li>
  <li>[in new dir] vagrant init new_box</li>
  <li>vagrant up</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>At this point the problem appears where the startup lingers with these messages:</p>
  
  <pre><code>default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...
  default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...
  default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using vagrant 1.7.2, VirtualBox 4.3.2. Host is windows 7.
  I saw some information regarding persistent network connections however I didn't find those in /etc/udev</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>:
  Adding the boot.log section where the machine is stuck for a few minutes:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cloud-init v. 0.7.5 running 'init-local' at Thu, 12 Mar 2015 14:42:15 +0000. Up 4.91 seconds.
