[chef] Re: RE: Re: RE: Help..(NOT Fixed!) ohai doesn't reflect ldap users after ldap config in first chef run

I worked around this by calling `getent passwd` for specific users in a ruby block or some such.  It's hacky, but it worked for my particular scenario.

I think...  The Etc.endgrent and Etc.pwent deal with the /etc/passwd and
/etc/group and does not affect LDAP.  So calling the ruby block to
"reset the group list" isn't helping where the ldap accounts are
concerned.

Anyone have any ideas?

I tried the solutions referred to in the ticket and it still did not
help.   I will keep searching..

I added this to my ldap cookbook
ohai "reload_passwd" do
 action :nothing
#  plugin "passwd"
end

# fixes CHEF-1699
ruby_block "reset group list" do
 block do
   Etc.endgrent
   Etc.endpwent
 end
 action :nothing
end
....

# Install the template
template "/etc/ldap.conf" do
 source "ldap.conf.erb"
 owner "root"
 group "root"
 mode 0644

 notifies :create, "ruby_block[reset group list]", :immediately
 notifies :reload, resources(:ohai => "reload_passwd"), :immediately
end

In Nagios cookbook...  (Still fails on the nagacct) remote_directory

node['nagios']['plugin_dir'] do
 source "plugins"
 owner "nagacct"
 group "nagacct"
 mode 0755
 files_mode 0755
 purge true
 notifies :restart, "service[xinetd]", :delayed end

Not sure if this helps as your OS is not listed but might want to have a
look.
