Yeah Chef 0.10.10 began using chef-full (aka Omnibus) as the default template for knife bootstrap.  But it wouldn't have your funny comment about the "bloody fingerprint scanner".  Why are you scanning bloody fingerprints. ;)

afaik the default template doesn't use omnibus, however I haven't looked at it in a long time

I need to delete that damn fprintd cuz it sends lots of annoying e-mails about not being able to connect to a fingerprint reader.

Thanks Bryan.  I'm curious, is there anything wrong with the default template for RHEL 6.2?  Or are you just creating your own template to accomplish your customizations?

There are many ways the /etc/chef directory gets created and it's
always when chef is being configured.

'knife bootstrap' will create the appropriate directories over ssh or winrm.

The debian packaging configures the client using debconf and will
create the appropriate directories.

Omnibus creates /etc/chef when you configure Chef using

/opt/chef/setup.sh -v validation_key -o hosted_chef organization
/opt/chef/setup.sh -v validation_key -u http://chef_server.example.org

As a packaging system, Rubygems isn't really designed for complete
application configuration. Since we aren't going to do the
configuration, it is presumptuous to  create a directory that may not
be used. This action may also make it harder to do the correct thing
in other packaging systems that base off of the Rubygem.
