[chef] Re: new deb packages under apt.opscode.com

[Joshua Timberman < >]

Hello!

I have updated the packaging on the APT repository so that the Chef library 
package (libchef-ruby1.8) depends on libuuidtools-ruby1.8, so that knife will 
function.

The installation process cannot generate a client.pem, as that is either 
created via using the validation certificate, or with the knife client create 
command. See the authentication documentation for more information.

http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Authentication

To automatically validate new clients, you would need to have in your 
provisioning process a way to put the validation.pem in /etc/chef on new 
systems. This could be retrieved via late commands in the preseeding from an 
internal web server, or via scp similar to the way the knife bootstrap 
subcommand works.
