Hi Alessandro,
Yes, for running Chef as client/server, FQDNs are required. The error
you are seeing is that the bootstrap process expects the node to have
a `domain` attribute, which would usually be 'your_domain.com' but
when your node has no domain set, you get the nil object instead.

Setting FQDNs on everything (even if you just do it in the hosts file)
will also make it much easier when you connect the clients to the
server.

HTH,
Dan DeLeo
