Change adds a new parameter to the nodeset command "--password <pw>".
If set it adds two lines in the yaboot.conf file for the nodes:
password=<pw>
restricted</pw></pw>
The <pw> can be plaintext or anything the linux password tools will take as an encrypted password, details are in the crypt(3) man page.</pw>
checked in changes to yaboot.pm and nodeset.8.pod in commit:
