Passwords are stored in a hashed format alongside other user information. We do not put the hashes in a public location for hopefully obvious reasons - please make sure you don't do this by accident.
Let's say you want to update cltbld's password. First, you need to generate the new hash. You can do that by running the following:
makepasswd --clearfrom=- --crypt-md5 # now type the password and hit ^D a couple times
Now, copy and paste that password into /etc/puppet/manifests/build/cltbld.pp as the 'password' for the cltbld user. Do this on all active puppet masters. do not check this change in!
