[chef] Re: Re: Re: Quick knife ssh question

Joshua,

Sorry about the split, that was my fault. I'm glad you may have resolved the problem, please post back what the solution was for other's benefit, if you don't mind. 

In regard to the staging server, I tend to use ubuntu 10.04 for quick chef server setup because it is package based and everything is quick and easy.

Sorry, I haven't had much time to track these threads.  They've split.  Your clarifying questions have actually helped me understand this better, and I've put some time into investigating the problem.  I may have it fixed but I haven't had time to verify as I'm trying to get a staging server set up.

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?
