The RPM install of course will not ask for the password.

/usr/bin/cobbler-setup is just a tool to run that sets up your 
modules.conf and settings file for you, after RPM install.

I would prefer to ask in that case, doing something automatically would 
be non-obvious and probably not correct for most folks.

I definitely don't want my main install server to have the same root 
password as every machine in my datacenter.

The /usr/bin/cobbler-setup tool asking is a good idea, "cobbler check" 
will still warn if folks set things up manually.
