You could also use the built in sha1 function to let puppet generate the
hashed version for you.
Like this:
user {'sysop':
#uid => 500,
#groups => 'admin',
comment => 'Sysop',
ensure => present,
home => '/home/sysop',
shell => '/bin/bash',
managehome => true,
password => sha1('plaintextpasswordhere'),
}
