If I were you, I would use the cobbler's built-in configuration
management feature, see http://cobbler.github.com/manuals/2.4.0/5/3/1_-_Built-In_Configuration_Ma...
You can use it to copy your bash script to /etc/rc.d/init.d/firstboot
From there, what the script does should be under your control. The
script should be implemented in such a way that it erases itself upon
success (or at least makes itself non-executable).
FWIW, nowadays I tend to always provision minimal systems, and then
use a configuration management framework to do desired changes to
hosts in different categories. I used to use firstboot, but since
I adopted the aforementioned approach, I haven't had a need to use
a firstboot script anymore. Even for desktop installations, in
kickstart files, I turn off the firstboot option (which runs the
Setup Agent) as well.

LDAP auth with SSL on port 636: "Bad file descriptor"
by Robert Jacobson
I tried to setup LDAP auth with SSL on my cobbler server, per the wiki
instructions at:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Ldap
I was able to get LDAP auth *without* SSL working.
However, when I enable SSL, I get the error "Bad file descriptor" in
cobbler.log. I found an existing issue documented at:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues/217
I messed around with the config a bunch, and did find a working
configuration with TLS:
1. use port 389
2. use ldap_tls = 1
But as far as I can tell, there is no way to use port 636 -- I tried it
with "ldap_tls" both 0 and 1. I either get "Bad file descriptor" or
"Can't contact LDAP server".
I'd like to use 636 because it ensures SSL or TLS is being used --
whereas port 389 will allow cleartext if the client is not configured
correctly. Is there are a way to do that?

Citrix XenServer
by Eddie Velez
Has anyone used cobbler with Citrix XenServer? I have modified pxegen.py and codes.py and created pxe_tempeles so will be added to pxe boot menus.
I am running into one problem. I can't get to http://server_ip/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/XenServer-6.0.2 profile. Any thoughts in what I could be missing.
Thanks
