I don't think so. We can do things such as just use it if present/configurable, as we do with things like ISC/BIND/dnsmasq support in Cobbler. > Also, it would probably be best to integrate the daemon that it runs with > cobblerd in order to reduce the number of processes that people need to > start up (that would definitely require packing it). > The restart-services trigger could choose to restart it if is present. > Finally, would we be looking at adding a manage_samba option then, since > this requires packages to be shared via a CIFS mount?

Haven't done so yet, but in general it's not managing samba generically but only for it's own purposes. I can see this having additional manual setup requirements and maybe a boolean in settings to enable it, plus some extra Wiki docs.
