I've found this in /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/network_config:

$hostname
How and where should I define $hostname in the web interface or CLI?
From the CLI you could do:
cobbler system edit --name bob
--hostname bob.yourcompany.fqdn

So this functionality is only good for system specifications?
I was hoping of finding a way to use "cblr`date +\%s | egrep -o
\".{4}\$\"`" as the hostname in a KS template so that systems utilizing the
PXE menu may receive a unique hostname.
