Well then, I guess it uses the defaults? It must use /srv/chef/run or something like that, so you should modify the scripts in /etc/init.d. But I didn't know you could even have chef-client working without a config file so no idea.

Goodluck!

I'm seeing the same thing, but in my vanilla install of chef 0.96 on lucid, /etc/chef/client.rb is empty.
