Description
Starting Chef Client, version 18.0.161 / 17.10.3 and ohai-cli yields a stacktrace.
This happens only when Passwd ohai module is in use with libnss-mysql.
Steps to Reproduce
Clean AlmaLinux 8.6 with uptodate packages.
Additionally libnss-mysql installed from EPEL (libnss-mysql 1.5-35.el8), configured with default settings:
/usr/share/doc/libnss-mysql/sample/linux/libnss-mysql-root.cfg
/usr/share/doc/libnss-mysql/sample/linux/libnss-mysql.cfg
/usr/share/doc/libnss-mysql/sample/linux/sample_database.sql
/etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files mysql
shadow: files mysql
group: files mysql

Additional informations
Creating test script based of: /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/ohai-18.0.20/lib/ohai/plugins/passwd.rb:
test.rb:
require "etc" unless defined?(Etc)
require "chef-utils/mash"
Mash = ChefUtils::Mash unless defined?(Mash)
etc = Mash.new
etc[:passwd] = Mash.new
etc[:group] = Mash.new
def fix_encoding(str)
str.force_encoding(Encoding.default_external) if str.respond_to?(:force_encoding)
str
end
etc[:passwd] = Mash.new
etc[:group] = Mash.new
Etc.passwd do |entry|
user_passwd_entry = Mash.new(dir: entry.dir, gid: entry.gid, uid: entry.uid, shell: entry.shell, gecos: entry.gecos)
user_passwd_entry.each_value { |v| fix_encoding(v) }
entry_name = fix_encoding(entry.name)
etc[:passwd][entry_name] = user_passwd_entry unless etc[:passwd].key?(entry_name)
end
print etc[:passwd]
Executing it directly using: /opt/chef/embedded/bin/ruby test.rb works as expected, all users are returned.
