[chef] Re: [chef-client] how to create a client without root permissions

["Julian C. Dunn" < >]

It's not recommended, because you won't be able to do many things
(example: manage services, install packages, etc.). That said:

You also can't use the standard bootstrap procedure, because you need
root privileges (or at least sudo) to install Chef Client on the box.
