It does not, since snippets don't do anything server side. There is very 
little server-side that Cobbler knows about Func.

I know I mentioned I would like to increase that level of support though 
... for auto-creating VMs direct from Cobbler Web a good integration 
with cert signing is important.

If we were deploying a new VM or reinstalling a machine we could know to 
delete the cert for the hostname.

(I would not write a trigger because the pre/post install triggers can 
be fired off by wgets and they aren't secure.. they are fine for 
emailing updates and such, but not dealing with a certificate framework)
