Description

In some conditions we saw SLES15 SP4 and Debian 11 fallback to getent for user information and fail with:

CFEngine(agent) rudder Couldn't run '/bin/getent'. (execv: No such file or directory)

And it is indeed not present in /bin/getent but only in /usr/bin/getent (and instead of a global symlink to merge bin and usr/bin like most distros, the few binaries present in /bin are actually symlinks themselves).
