def set_password(name, password, use_usermod=False):
    '''
    Set the password for a named user. The password must be a properly defined
    hash. The password hash can be generated with this command:

    ``python -c "import crypt; print crypt.crypt('password',
    '\\$6\\$SALTsalt')"``

    ``SALTsalt`` is the 8-character crpytographic salt. Valid characters in the
    salt are ``.``, ``/``, and any alphanumeric character.

    Keep in mind that the $6 represents a sha512 hash, if your OS is using a
    different hashing algorithm this needs to be changed accordingly

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt '*' shadow.set_password root '$1$UYCIxa628.9qXjpQCjM4a..'
