Bug Description
The ';' character causes failures if used in a password for UCS, such as
cobbler-node.pp:
...
power_user => "admin",
power_password => "test;ing",
...
Need to either work around to support use of puppet / shell control characters in passwords for cobbler management -- or document the characters which cannot be supported in UCS power control passwords

I'm trying to replicate this bug now. One thing to note, from the Puppet style guide:
All strings that do not contain variables should be enclosed in single quotes. Double quotes should be used when variable interpolation is required. Double quotes may also be used to make a string more readable when it contains single quotes.
Single quotes are completely literal, except that you write a literal quote with \' and a literal backslash with \\.
