I want to say I saw errors that I could deal with when using the xmlrpc, I just don't recall the format. I just pulled a small snippet that is the only error checking I did against the xmlrpc. here it is: try: cobbler.modify_system(sysid, 'modify_interface', int, token) except xmlrpclib.Fault, e: print "system %s errored trying to add %s interface" % (system, interface) print e not great, but hopefully it helps. > One last novice question, does the api only run on the same server as > cobbler or can I use the api to access a remote cobbler server? > > The API should be remotely accessible.
