[chef] RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: fqdn and Chef Server

["Kadel-Garcia, Nico" < >]

It shouldn't, according to the README .md, " If the attribute 
node['machine_fqdn'] is set, it will use the string found there to attempt to 
configuration the machine's hostname." It's a new option in the latest 
production code. It's also a violation of the coding standards where 
attributes should be associated with their particular cookbook. Ideally, the 
attribute would be "node['fqdn']['machine_fqdn']".

As it stands, specifying that attribute on a host by host basis is not very 
practical. It means that each host would need its own role or environment to 
have the FQDN applied reliably.

Looks like the cookbook expects you to set the `node[‘machine_fqdn]` 
attribute.
