your:
> execute "delete password" do
>    command "passwd -d #{u['id']}"
>    only_if { "test $(passwd -S #{u['id']} | awk '{print $2}') = L" }
>  end

should be:

execute "delete password" do
  command "passwd -d #{u['id']}"
  only_if { "test $(passwd -S #{u['id']} | awk '{print $2}') = L" }
  action :nothing
end

and then it'll only run once notified.
