+<PRE>Hi,
+
+as those who carefully read all commit have noted, I have used extlookup
+( as planned ) to store the password outside of svn.
+
+For now, the passwords are in /etc/puppet/extdata/common.csv, on
+valstar. The format is :
+name_of_the_password,password
+
+To get the password, in a puppet manifest, just use :
+
+$password = extlookup('name_of_the_password')
+
+and then use $password in template or in the manifest ( variable from
+the manifest can be used directly in the templates ).
+Look at the catdap module to see how I did it.
+You can also look at
+<A HREF="http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/2.6.1/function.html#extlookup">http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/2.6.1/function.html#extlookup</A>
+( and on the web ).
+
+The file is read protected by puppet in valstar config.
+ 
+However, there is no back up, and no auditing of change. Therefore, I
+propose to use some private git/svn for this, any idea or remark ?
+
+( I would also suggest to send mail on commit without the diff, as
+knowing we have added a password is not critical, the content is the
+only thing important  ).
+
+WDYT ?
