Hmmmm,
I thought I tested it....

Doing a re-install again it now works where as previously I could not login if I did not change the file called /etc/cobbler/auth.conf 

Maybe something else was wrong.

I am using vanilla 5.6 Red Hat and 
cobbler-web-2.2.1-1.el5
cobbler-2.2.1-1.el5

Any ideas why changing that file would give me access. I previously got an xmlrpc error about not being authenticated which is why I changed it.

I will remove my comment on the wiki, luckily it is quite short.

Regards

That is not correct, as far as I know. I have never had to change the
auth.conf file so the CLI works. It is still set to disabled on my
system and I can run CLI commands with no issue. What version of
cobbler are you using, and what Linux distro/version?
