Setting up cobbler server

To generate a password fir cobbler have no fear. For you can run this command just so lon as it is installed..



openssl passwd -1 salt 'b00jahyaakakaka' 'blah'
$1$V6lXFJJt$ErF4PU8GwEKHYQlbNE0Kl0
$1$j6HJYcMI$jxgNB4wYd5DG0ttMxk2Vg1
$1$GlxYrcwC$LPzvraBpP.AGi1PLRZTr50

Now just dump the top line into /etc/cobber/settings with an editor like vim.

Then to get the settings recognised, (yes, you guessed it, I am a Brit).

service httpd reload && service cobblerd restart && cobbler sync && cobbler check

I won't bother you with the majority of the output but from this example, the server that I am setting cobbler up on just gives info about the firewall..


*** TASK COMPLETE ***
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:

1 : since iptables may be running, ensure 69, 80, and 25151 are unblocked

Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.

... and I can deal with that with iptables
