Hi All,

Quick question/observation:

[r...@prov snippets]# cobbler system dumpvars --name=svn | grep mac
 'mac_address': '00:0c:29:f3:0f:d8',
 'mac_address_eth0': '00:0c:29:f3:0f:d8',
...

Using this in a snippet, I would expect both to print the MAC address,
however only the interface level MAC works:

#print $getVar('$mac_address', 'TESTing')
#print $getVar('$mac_address_eth0', 'TESTing')

In fact, the output is as follows:

#print Nothing
#print 00:0c:29:9d:8d:b9

I'm running Cobbler 1.6.2 (Centos/5; EPEL RPM).

While i'm quite sure there is a sensible reason for this, it seems confusing
that dumpvars does not provide a list of variables that can be used in
getVar. The excellent "Install VMWare kernel" snippet @
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/KickstartSnippets (Written by Matt
Hyclak) should also be updated to use _eth0 if this is intended behaviour..

Many thanks,

ALex
