`apt-cache policy cobbler`

cobbler:
  Installed: 2.1.0-0ubuntu7
  Candidate: 2.1.0-0ubuntu7
  Version table:
 *** 2.1.0-0ubuntu7 0

Expected:

In order to make use of the cobbler replicate feature to sync between
two cobbler servers, Cobbler is supposed to generate a usable
/etc/rsyncd.conf file based on /etc/cobbler/rsyncd.template. A fresh
install of Cobbler does not generate this file at all on an Ubuntu
system. I don't run RHEL or CentOS cobbler instances so I can't confirm
whether or not this is Ubuntu specific though.

What Happens:

The documentation for cobbler says that the Rsync ops should be handled
over SSH or scp, but this is not the case at all as it tries to connect
to the non-existent Rsync server on the master when trying to sync,
which fails.

Workaround:

Manually building the config for rsyncd.conf using the template as a
guide works without issue it just appears that cobbler never tries to
generate it during `cobbler sync` or a restart of cobbler.
