I've done that on openbsd systems with something like this:
exec { "setpass $name":
onlyif => "grep '^$name:\*' /etc/master.passwd",
command => "usermod -p '$pwstring' $name",
require => User[$name],
}
Note that the onlyif on this command is intended to set the password
only on accounts that have none, so you'll have to modify it to fit
your needs. $pwstring is a pre-hashed password, for obvious reasons.
