Aye, that would work, but...  here's the conundrum - to ensure that we reset 
the password locally on the client, we must have the password in plain text in 
a promise or script.  Unless I compile a binary to do the actual work, and run 
it from cfengine.

Or... is there a way that Cfengine can provide a means of protecting the 
password being used to run passwd or whatever mechanism to change the password.
