Anyone managing local account passwords with CFEngine should be restricting 
access to the policies containing those passwords, and only distributing the 
portion of the policy (or the remote scalar) relevant to a given machine.  
Otherwise, a breach on one machine has potential to become a breach on all 
managed machines.

Unless we're talking about a site where every user is identical on every 
system, I suppose. :)
