Recent Cobbler (as of 741faeafc4782ee66d7d1934a29b107602f1ebe9 in the Cobbler git tree) only writes dhcpd.conf entries for netboot-enabled systems. When we mark a system as netboot_enabled, therefore, we need to also ensure dhcpd is synchronized, and there is a new API for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan <n...@us.ibm.com>
