[chef] Re: Getting my node's ip address

[Geoff Meakin Acid < >]

Hmm very strange - following some old bug reports, I edited this file:

gems/ohai-0.6.4/lib/ohai/mixin/command.rb
And required 'stringio' at the top which fixed the problem. 

This seems like a bug to me? Or I've got an old version of ohai.

Incidentally I see from googling that this bug has been fixed and regressed a 
few times… maybe it has regressed again?
