title: opscode Chef: Issue while bootstrapping a node
body: <p>I am trying to bootstrap a node using the knife command and got below error.</p>
  
  <p>command :</p>
  
  <pre><code>knife bootstrap &lt;hostname&gt; --sudo -x &lt;username&gt;  -N &lt;Nodename&gt; -E &lt;env&gt; --bootstrap-proxy &lt;proxy&gt;
  
  Error : Connecting to &lt;hostname&gt;
  ERROR: Net::SSH::Disconnect: connection closed by remote host
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, I directly logged in on node and installed the chef rpm and generated the client.rb and copied personal cert validator.pem to node and when I run the chef-client I get below error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>[root@test bin]# chef-client
