I can't remember if it's built into cobbler or if someone was just using

Since they can be any system executable you are left to your imagination

Have you run "cobbler validateks" on the kickstart file that includes

Also, there's the ErrorCatcher class in cheetah (albeit not built into

Cobbler has the potential to address your needs but it's important to

set for tftp.

Hi All,
It seems that the selinux policy for cobbler needs some updates:
#= cobblerd_t ==
allow cobblerd_t cert_t:dir search;
allow cobblerd_t cert_t:file { read getattr open };
allow cobblerd_t cert_t:lnk_file read;
allow cobblerd_t etc_t:file write;
allow cobblerd_t slap
Do you have SELINUX enabled? If so, you'll want to modify your policy
and restart cobblerd.
