Assert for user password hash does not work, if password hash is stored in /etc/shadow (like in Ubuntu)

[DracoAter]

test

user( name ).must_exist.with :password, u[:password][:default]

Fails with:

Expected: [some password hash]
Actual: "x"

"x" is used in /etc/passwd if the real password hash is stored in /etc/shadow.

That's Chef behavior, we don't do anything else but load Chef's user resource.
