[chef] Re: RE: how to change ip address of node after added to chef-server.

[Matt Ray < >]

Not to say you "can't", you just need to determine why ohai is setting
it the way it is and possibly replace the offending behavior. You
could add a new ohai plugin to modify the behavior, or potentially
submit a patch if it's a bug in ohai.
