FreeBSD user management

Hi All,

I've recently moved to using FreeBSD as a home router. When I come to
add and manage users, the password seems to be altered every run. Here's
the bundle I use with the associated password body:

  bundle agent users {
  
    users:
      "user"
        policy          => "present",
        description     => "Test user",
        home_dir        => "/home/test",
        group_primary   => "staff",
        shell           => "/bin/bash",
        password        => test_passwd;
  }
  
  body password test_passwd {
     format             => "hash";
     data               => "$6$o1er87ahg3ESoM60$NyRTe66auRs3pOYMSw6q/Us0vDS6FTKve7VTSnufeJZ4vXTiP0ZeYZ45Wu1eE6NVsUP4QuzcMDzGB9./JMoVR1";
  }

The output on each run is:

  chpass: user information updated
      info: Modified user 'user'

Can anyone help? I could write a bundle just to edit the password field
of /etc/master.passwd, but that seems dangerous.

Thanks,

Richard
