[chef] Re: HTTP Request Returned 401 Unauthorized: Failed to authenticate?

Typical issue is out of time sync between chef server and node.

So always check that ntp daemon installed and ran.

Hi, I have following problem installing new node (I am installing it
in same way like rest of nodes), and I am pretty lost at this moment.

Where I should start debugging? (I replace my FQDN with example.com in
following example)

:~/work/headnet/chef-repo-headnet$ knife bootstrap
khaki.example.com --sudo -x rafal
