Also, it's a good idea to use single quotes around the password hash
instead of double quotes. Password hashes have an unfortunate tendency to
include '$' characters, which Puppet will tend to try to interpret as a
variable reference except when the string is single-quoted.
In fact, it's a good idea to always use single quotes in your Puppet
manifests except where you specifically want variable interpolation.
