title: Should my Chef Server server show up as a node?
body: <p>In the process of creating and setting up my Chef infrastructure on my own servers, I have noticed that my server is showing up as a node. My first question: is this normal and correct?</p>
  
  <p>For example, server-001 is my Chef Server. The rest are intended to be managed nodes:</p>
  
  <pre>
  $ knife node list
    server-001.example.com
    server-002.example.com
    server-003.example.com
    server-004.example.com
    server-005.example.com
  </pre>
  
  <p>This seems strange and possibly incorrect to me. My second question, if this is normal, why would a Chef Server want to keep a reference to itself as a node?</p>
  
  <p>Question #3: if this is incorrect, any ideas on what I did to make this happen? (Some background: I followed the Chef Server setup directions and then bootstrapped the other nodes. I have not explicitly created any nodes.)</p>
