[chef] Re: Re: RE: node name coming across wrong.

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

When you don’t specify the node name, chef tries to determine the name from 
ohai data. Ohai’s fqdn attribute is pulled from `hostname —fqdn`, which can 
be blank if either your reverse DNS or /etc/hosts don’t specify it. Probably 
something is different about this particular machine’s configuration compared 
to the others which is causing this issue.
