Having just spent about 2 hours trying to work out how to add a

password --md5 $1$Qejy8/$.qFUuDeYL.cuSDpN1ZD.S1

line to my grub.conf I thought it would be worth sharing how I finally
got it to work.

        augeas {"/boot/grub/grub.conf":
                context => "/files/boot/grub/grub.conf",
                changes => [ "set timeout 15",
                                'set password/md5 null',
                                'set password
$1$Qejy8/$.qFUuDeYL.cuSDpN1ZD.S1'
                        ]
                }

Also the grub lens only works if /boot/grub/grub.conf resides on the
same file system as /etc otherwise augtool craps out with an error about
being unable to save a cross file system link. Short of editing the lens
file, I'm not sure how to solve that one. If anyone knows how to fix
that without the edit then that would be great :)
