Even so cblr is set as an alias, should I not expect to have m2067 (the system created using cobbler) sitting in the directory structure at /var/www/cobbler/svc/op/ks/system/m2067 which is referenced in
ks=http://172.17.11.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/m2067 ?
I used
cobbler system add --name=m2067 etc ....
But the file is not in that place.
Also: I expected /etc/dhcpd.conf to have been modified to reflect the adding of the system. But there have been no changes.

Not a cobbler expert, but looking in the /var/www/cobbler/svc directory shows a python file which is used to handle the html request. Need to defer to someone who has python knowledge to explain how that script takes the url you mention and builds what it needs etc.
Excerpts from Lydia Heck's message of Tue May 18 13:59:28 -0400 2010:

I believe it did this at one point, but then we moved to mod_python (and now we are moving to mod_wsgi) to do that templating on the fly. You will find the kickstart template that generates into the kickstart in /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts. Which template is used shuld be set in the cordelia profile.
Cobbler does this so it can dynamically generate the template at request time. This leads to cobbler having the ability to do some very neat things. The templating generation tends to be pretty fast as well.
I used
cobbler system add --name=m2067 etc ....
But the file is not in that place.
Also: I expected /etc/dhcpd.conf to have been modified to reflect the adding of the system. But there have been no changes.
Have you run 'cobbler sync' after adding the system? The dhcp template is generated at sync time due to the amount of times it takes to restart the dhcp server.
