禁用ohai插件

Question

Using oahi version 8.0.0 from the chefdk on mac.

If I run the command ohai in the terminal, my mac completely locks up for 10+ minutes).

Users have suggested this is caused by being connected to LDAP and recomend disabling the passwd.rb plugin. Where is that file located and how do I disable it?

Answer 1

Put the following inside /etc/chef/client.rb

ohai.disabled_plugins = [:Passwd]

Or if using ohai 7 or newer

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = [ :Passwd ]

Or point chef-shell to a specific config file

chef-shell -c ~/foo.rb

OSX users will need to make the /etc/chef/ directory since it doesn't exist by default

sudo mkdir /etc/chef
echo 'ohai.disabled_plugins = [:Passwd]' | sudo tee -a /etc/chef/client.rb

(Previous version of this SO answer showed that you could rename the passwd.rb plugin, that is no longer recommended since it breaks newer versions of chef)

Answer 2

I actually just ran into this, but there was another passwd.rb in the gems directory that needed renamed as well. Running this command found and moved all of them for me so I could move on with my Chef travels:

sudo find /opt/chefdk/embedded/ -wholename *ohai* -name passwd.rb -exec mv {} {}.bad \;
