[chef] Starting out with the opscode platform.

[Tim Uckun < >]

Hey all.

I want through the starting tutorial on the opscode web site using the
opscode platform. Everything worked as expected but I do have one
question.

Apparently the configuration for my node is kept only on the chef
server (not on my workstation). Is this right? I can see the run list
on the server, I can get the run list when I with knife but I don't
see a file anywhere on my machine which lists the node, lists the
variables or the params for the node etc.

Does this mean I need to create a recipe for each node so I can
configure it? What is the best practice for setting up your nodes?

Cheers.
