Hello,
I have been looking at the tickets at the cobbler trac. I came across
this one and find this one interesting to work on.
Ticket 260
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/260
The feature to be added is a provision for easy manipulation of the
kickstart password in the ".ks" files. I have been through the mailing
lists and find the following solution for the problem.
https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/cobbler/2008-October/001198.html
So, my understanding of the implementation is as follows:-
1.
---------------------------------------------------------
cobbler passwd --template=path
cobbler passwd --all
cobbler passwd --stock-templates-only
----------------------------------------------------------
In the first line the template refers to a configuration file for
certain types of kickstart files. If the kickstart filename matches a
particular pattern, then the kickstart password is modified to the
value corresponding to the pattern in the template.
The second and the third lines are unclear to me.
I am not sure if my idea is correct; if not please help clear it up.
Thanking you,
Zubin Mithra
