I believe you could place an "override template" in
$CHEF_REPO/site-cookbooks/chef-client/templates, which would be a
rather hacky solution (think of  monkeypatching the cookbook).

Actually, I would rather recommend to fork the chef-client cookbook
and roll your own. If your addition is something generally useful you
should try to get it back to the community (via COOK ticket + pull
request), if it's very specific to your case you can stay with your
own fork.


Cheers,
