Hi All,
I have a problem with cobbler using externally sourced kickstart files
that use template variables. It seems that pxegen.py refuses to use
the template service if the kickstart file is externally sourced.

I have worked around this with a little patch on these lines but I
wanted to see if this is a true bug. Ill submit a ticket and patch
if appropriate.
It isn't a bug. It is more of a security feature. These scripts are
running python on your cobbler server.
I'm assuming that you are trying to run scripts from a centrally managed
place on multiple cobbler servers? If that is the case you might want to
check out replicate for maintaining one master version of cobbler's
config files and syncing them out to be used.
