[chef] Re: Re: override_attributes confusion

[Adam Jacob < >]

If you are seeing this sort of behavior, it's because something else
is setting those attributes, or you are reading them somewhere in the
chef run where they have yet to be applied (for example, in an
attribute file where you want to compute a value based on something
that comes from a role.)

Best,
Adam
