Absolutely. I think we're most likely to enforce the lack of a Lanman
hash, so will have a function that does all the padding.
It wouldn't take too much work to generalize this to support current
and future alternative hashes in the one password hash file.
After chatting to Jeff McCune who did the initial directoryservice
nameservice provider, I think we have a clearer idea of what should be
done as far as refactoring goes for post 0.24.x puppet, but just
wanted to get this functionality in before 0.24.7.

For this kind of thing, it probably makes sense to have a function to
retrieve the password from an external source; or even provide a
function that just does the necessary zero-padding.

[Puppet Users] Re: who uses clear text passwords with directoryservice/netinfo providers?
So I have a first candidate that's a pretty big rewrite of the
directoryservice provider.
If anyone is interested in testing this (it's just replacing one file
in the 0.24.6 installation) on an OS X client, let me know. I have
some more cleanup to do before submitting the patch, but it's
functional.
Note this is also fixing the bug with comments or any other attributes
with spaces in the value that was reported with the directoryservice
provider.
Makes manifests a bit ugly though... but all that zero padding is
actually used for some things on OS X like setting an alternative
Lanman hash for SMB, and managing the existence or lack thereof of
alternative hashes is rather desirable to me.

When I quickly realized it was using clear text I started distributing the /var/db/shadow/hash/ file. We want no clear text. Thanks for working on this Nigel.
