[BUG] RedHat/CentOS state apply with root password fails about mysql-formula

[myii]

That portion of the code is from around 5 years ago, so it's going to be tough getting feedback from the original author.

We need someone to make some time to dig into this to figure out what's going on.

@BrianSidebotham : Any advice to success on one pass ?

[pprkut]

It looks like for some reason the onlyif condition doesn't work?

The way this is set up is that there's three ways to configure the salt user. The state tries all of them in this order:

• With an already configured salt user (i.e. from the second run forward, ideally)
• With a root user that has a password configured
• With a password-less root user (default after initial installation)

The state checks in the onlyif condition if the respective user has access to the database and only if that's the case, executes the state.

The reason behind the /bin/true is that the salt-user state needs to override the mysql_root_password state from the server.sls file (which uses cmd.run to configure the root password). But with the salt-user state we want to configure it using mysql_user.present.
