[chef] problem with json serialization in chef-0.9.6, rubygem-json-1.1.9-1.el5

[< >]

 

Hi all

 

 

I have a problem when running chef-client on a node because the json serialization crashs where there is a non-ascii character in gecos field in a entry /etc/password

 

e.g.

 

"gecos"=>"Jos\351 San Rom\341n,IT-Arquitectura"

 

The result is this kind of exeception
