Ohai fetches the data as etc/passwd, i.e., it should be under 
node[“etc”][“passwd”].

BTW, you can just run `ohai` on the command line to see all the data it 
produces. It’s quite a lot but you can scan it to find the data you’re 
looking for. You can also filter the command line output by passing the path 
to the attributes you want if you know them, e.g., `ohai etc/passwd` prints 
just the passwd data.

HTH,
