in fact the nameservers in resolv.conf are the ones set by cobbler not the ones provided by dhcp to try to explain my 'issue' - i am trying to set certain OS specific things based on which dc the machine is sitting in and i can work this out by its hostname. This stuff happens in the post of the ks so thats why i am trying to manipulate the nameservers like this rather than using the ones offered by cobbler. which brings me onto another point which i am sure cobbler can solve but i am not sure of what 'flag' to use or similar but the issue is........ lets say i have 100 different types of machine that are fundamentally the _same_ bar the application they run. They would all have as near as damn it the same profile but rather than having 100 profiles with 100 different kickstarts where the only difference is a single like in the packages section is there a more clever way to solve that issue? if there is then i could also expand this to solve this issue of DNS as i am also needing to use a similar trick to solve mail relays, ntp servers etc etc thanks _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
