That's what I was thinking, another boolean with a templated config file
for samba available in /etc/cobbler.  This would put it in-line with dhcpd.

The issue here is the same as it is with Solaris: the file needs to be
present on a share and can't be created on the fly - so it would have to be
created during a sync.  We could specify that the --kickstart file is the
basis for this, but it would have to be generated on a sync (preferably
only on a lite sync).
