[chef] Re: Re: Re: Help in how to add nodes to different environments

There is no single config file for this. You use the key "chef_environment" 
in each node's JSON data. Environments are mostly moot in chef-solo, nothing 
they do can't be done in a roughly equivalent way with roles, so its pretty 
much the same either way.
