I have not tried this myself, but I see that the hash() function in Cfengine 
should support crypt.
See http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#Function-hash
This way you get rid of the external commands, but you end up with password in 
the clear.
But note that in the end you would always have to rely on some physical 
security (where to store the key you encrypt the password with? if encrypt it 
again - what about that second key?).
