Cobbler writes DHCP and DNS management via templates in /etc/cobbler, which /should/ be documented on the Wiki.
Ok, I merged the file /etc/cobbler/dnsmasq.template with my previous system config and now it works like a champ and automatically install my guest in less than 3 minutes! So if I have to do changes to my overall dnsmasq I can modify the template and run a "cobbler sync". One question: do I have to leave the system dnsmasq in chkconfig on or does cobbler need to start it automatically during the cobblerd service startup and so I have to leave dnsmasq off?
And also, as in /etc/cobbler directory there is the tftp template too, is it a must to have tftp provided by xinetd or can I use tftp functionality provided by dnsmasq itself? the "cobbler check" command issues the warning
#0: change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
as I'm not enabling tftpd via xinetd....
Let's keep one discussion topic per email thread please, it makes easier to follow.
Ok, sorry. And thanks for your answer anyway.
Now I have to fix something (proposing to dnsmasq owner via bugzilla) because a cobbler sync makes a restart of dnsmasq service and this kills also the libvirtd one as it makes a killproc instead of a killproc -p ...
