Tried setting up Elasticsearch 8.0.0-rc2 on macOS to test the new security configuration. Despite [what the documentation says](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.0/targz.html#targz-running), no password, enrollment token, etc. is being output on first startup. Instead, the following is output:
[INFO][o.e.x.s.InitialNodeSecurityAutoConfiguration] [MacBook-Pro.local] Auto-configuration will not generate a password for the elastic built-in superuser, as we cannot determine if there is a terminal attached to the Elasticsearch process. You can use the `bin/elasticsearch-reset-password` tool to set the password for the elastic user.
Tried with both ZSH and Bash.
I was able to set things up just fine by using `bin/elasticsearch-reset-password -u elastic` and `bin/elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token --scope kibana`.
My question is just why nothing is being output by default as the documentation states? Any way to fix that? Thanks.

Hi there, thanks for your report ! I canβt reproduce this on macOS 11.2.3
Can you please share how you installed Elasticsearch and how you are attempting to start it , along with details about your macOS version ?

Sure. I am using macOS Monterey 12.1 on ARM (M1 Pro). Simply downloaded Elasticsearch for the macOS aarch64 platform from the [download page](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch#preview-release). Extracted the archive and ran `bin/elasticsearch` and `./bin/elasticsearch` (no difference). That's all. π
FYI, as mentioned in my first post, I am using ZSH, but also tried with plain Bash, and the result was the same. Just thought I'd mention it again since it might be relevant based on the info message.

Sorry to open this again, @ikakavas, but this is still an issue on 8.0.0. I see that it is mentioned [within the release notes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.0/release-notes-8.0.0.html#known-issues-8.0.0). Do you have any idea when this will be fixed? I have various content that I am unable to update to support version 8.x until this is fixed. Thanks! π

Perfect, thanks again! π I just thought it made it into 8.0.0, that's why I asked. π
