Broken module

Hello,

This modules broken and does not seem like it should ever work.

[client]
password=cowsarefunny

So essentially it is installing MySQL, writing out the my.cnf with the root password, then trying to set the root password which is blank, as it was just been install but using the my.cnf new password :(

I've deployed various servers (2 right today) with a similar configuration:
class { 'mysql':
root_password => 'auto',
}
(password is automatically randomly calculated with 'auto' but it should not be different with a custom password) without any problem or error in the puppet run.
Still the problem is there and might be due to some untested sequence of configurations.
For example, did you add the password option since the first puppet run or you added it later? Did you change it in different Puppet runs? On what distro did you find the problem?

I have wiped the server and started from scratch encase there was anything hanging around that may have caused it.

It looks to be working fine now. If we run in to any problems I will try to track it down and send a pull request.
