write a script or web interface that stores the password hashes in a databag on the chef server for the users who changed their password and then pull that new hash value into your cookbook. this is currently how I did it, not sure if it's the best way but it works.

I want to use chef to maintain users with a default password while allowing the
user to change their password. Each time I rerun chef-client, the user's
password gets reset. Is there a way I can keep it from resetting back to the
default? I'm thinking about only adding the password param if the entry isn't
already in /etc/passwd but it seems like there should be an easier way?
