The initial promises on a node have a disturbing error message about rudder-passwords.conf

Description
The use of initial promises on a node result in these messages:
!!! System error for fopen: "No such file or directory"
!! File "/opt/rudder/etc/rudder-passwords.conf" could not be read in getfields()
This is disturbing as these messages are considered as errors.
The problem here is that one of the promises need to make an action on /opt/rudder/etc/rudder-passwords.conf which doesn't exist on nodes and even if the promise is not applied, it is parsed by CFEngine.
- Target version changed from 2.4.0~beta4 to 2.4.0~beta5
- Target version changed from 2.4.0~beta5 to 2.4.0~rc1
- Status changed from New to 2
We discussed adding this file to all nodes to avoid the error message... but that's an ugly workaround.
A better solution would be to parameterize the CFEngine "inputs" by using a different list and not including distributePolicy/* for nodes. This can be acheived by referencing a list defined in a bundle common (for example "bundle common va" that already exists).
- Status changed from 2 to Pending technical review

This looks fine, except for common/1.0/cf-served.cf, which should be included on all nodes, not just policy_servers. The cf-serverd component is also used on node (to allow for remote execution, for example).
