Shooting from the hip here. Try disabling the Ohai passwd plugin via role, or whatever your choice is, see if that alleviates it. Something like this

    "ohai": {

      "disabled_plugins": ["passwd"]

    }

Hi,

This appears to be related to a host (1 of a few) bound to
corporate AD where the 'user' resource is returning ~23MB
of data ... when I try to set the local root account's
password.

What are my options here? Any thoughts would be welcome.

The obvious workaround is to edit /etc/shadow directly
and not use the 'user' resource :|
