So here's a question that isn't clear to me by looking over the documentation.

If you wanted to trigger deployments, could you just have ONLY knife installed?

It seems like if you want knife, you also have to have chef-client installed.

The code is here: https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/knife/cookbook_site_install.rb

Sounds like a bug, you should file a ticket at tickets.opscode.com for the CHEF project, knife component.

Yeah, generally each user should be using his own key. How did you create the first one? `knife configure -i` is designed to create your first user. Then you'd copy the key that it creates to your workstation. After that you can use `knife client create -a -n -f KEYFILE USERNAME` to create new admin users. From where you're at now, I'd recommend using that command to create a new user for yourself instead of using the webui user.
