You can get an example for your particular system by running this as  
root:

     ralsh user username

There's probably a way to generate the encrypted string without the  
account actually existing first, but I don't know it.

A related question I have: How do you assign an initial password when  
the account is created, but prevent Puppet from making that the  
password every 30 minutes (should the user want to change it)?
