hello,
i’m following the instrux here:
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Package+Installation+on+Debian+and+Ubuntu
and when it comes to “knife client create”, it’s creating a pem file that
contains “nil”. it’s that pem file that i’d want to transfer to my
laptop so i can run knife from there. but i don’t think a pem file
contain nil will help :>
know what i’m doing wrong here?
thanks,
kallen
