[chef] changing hostname

[Joshua Miller < >]

Hello,

Guys I am trying to change my host name on a box but now I get


 :~#
 chef-client 
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2097:in `error!': 401 "Unauthorized" 
(Net::HTTPServerException)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/rest.rb:233:in `run_request'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/rest.rb:95:in `post_rest'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/client.rb:243:in `authenticate'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/client.rb:79:in `run'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/application/client.rb:186:in 
`run_application'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/application/client.rb:178:in `loop'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/application/client.rb:178:in 
`run_application'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/application.rb:57:in `run'
        from /usr/bin/chef-client:25

 :~#
 

 :~#
 chef-client -v
Chef: 0.7.14

 :~#
 

for some reason I though nodes used another system to track nodes once they 
are registered but it seems I am wrong.  Is there a suggested way to change a 
hostname?

Thank you,

Joshua
