[chef] Re: Re: Quick knife ssh question

[James < >]

Jonathan,

I believe he is using knife ssh to invoke chef-client. I used a similar method on 0.8.6 without problems, but have since replaced the knife ssh component (with the help of #chef), not because it didn't work, but because other options provide more flexibility (control over responses, variability in actions taken). However, in most cases, knife ssh will do the trick. 

The error he posted appears to be from the chef-client invocation, which aligns with what he stated.

Well, which is it?

knife ssh, which relies on correct settngs in ~/.chef/knife.rb
*on*your*workstation*, or chef-client, which lives on the client-side
(usually a server, just not *chef* server) and reads
/etc/chef/client.rb on that box?
