Thanks for the reply Steven,

I did that too.. on my chef-server

/opt/chef-server/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-11.4.0/lib/chef/knife/core/bootstrap_context.rb

---- snip -------------

def config_content
client_rb = <<-CONFIG
log_level        :info
log_location     STDOUT
chef_server_url  " :chef_server_url]}"
validation_client_name " :validation_client_name]}"
-----------------------

But still client.rb on bootstrapped machine shows as

:/etc# cat chef/client.rb
log_level        :auto
log_location     STDOUT
chef_server_url  "https://chefserver.nvsd.com/"
validation_client_name "chef-validator"
node_name "controllernode.nvsd.com"

:/etc#

Shyam.

You need to do any hacking on the box you run `knife bootstrap` from. This won't affect any already-bootstrapped machines (though you can manage those with the chef-client cookbook to your liking).

Take a look at bootstrap templates for customizing the config on the bootstrapped machine:
