   This code, even without the changes to salt in couch_passwords.erl, might still be useful in that it would sync the admin passwords in the "direct" setup scenario. And speaking of which, that is presumably the scenario fauxton is using, since if it were using the (documented)[http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/setup/cluster.html#the-cluster-setup-api] "remote" scenario, those admin hashes should be the same on all nodes.  I looked through the fauxton source, but am not yet proficient enough with that code to determine which of the two setup scenarios it is actually using. Identifying these files as potentially relevant is about as far as I've delved:
   
   - https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/blob/master/app/addons/setup/components/MultipleNodeController.js
   - https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/blob/master/app/addons/setup/container/MultipleNodeContainer.js
