Since I wasn't doing it, I tried stopping the chef-client on the
server for 48 hours, and low and behold the problem went away. Thank
you for your comment above, it made me go through the run list and I
found the chef::delete_validation recipe was getting run. I didn't
realize deleting validation.pem on the chef-server would cause a
regeneration...figured the private key was only used by the
chef-client. Thank you for your patience and help.
