All of these settings are off by default (duplication not allowed)
I can actually think of some virtual configs that might need the same
MAC / IP for multiple objects. You store a bunch of builds, but don't
want to allocate MACs/IP's.
If you want to test a different OS, or rebuild things multiple times, etc.
If you were doing this testing virtually, I think you'd do it on a
per-profile basis and just accept the random macs, wouldn't you?
koan --virt --profile=foo
For physical systems, where the mac must be there, I'd change the OS by
changing the profile and leave the system data intact:
cobbler system edit --name=foo --profile=newProfile
We seriously can still leave these, I'm just not sure we want to.
Though if someone thinks this protection is bad, and currently has it
turned off, we can see about leaving the settings there. I'd just
rather impose good usage out of the box if I can, lest someone shoot
themselves in the foot too unneccessarily.
