I wouldnt want the cert including the needed private key beeing trans-
ferred over the net in the clear.
Letting cobbler doing the signing of the cert (with accompanying 
private key beeing only on the newly deployed box) sounds fine thou.

A bit better than autosigning since cobbler will only sign the
certs of cobbler-deployed boxen and not some rogue new box on the
network.
