Hello, I have been looking at the tickets at the cobbler trac. I came across this one and find this one interesting to work on.
Ticket 260 https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/260 The feature to be added is a provision for easy manipulation of the kickstart password in the ".ks" files. I have been through the mailing lists and find the following solution for the problem. https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/cobbler/2008-October/001198.html So, my understanding of the implementation is as follows:- 1. --------------------------------------------------------- cobbler passwd --template=path cobbler passwd --all cobbler passwd --stock-templates-only ---------------------------------------------------------- In the first line the template refers to a configuration file for certain types of kickstart files. If the kickstart filename matches a particular pattern, then the kickstart password is modified to the value corresponding to the pattern in the template. The second and the third lines are unclear to me. I am not sure if my idea is correct; if not please help clear it up. Thanking you, Zubin Mithra _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
