This may be a sign of an Apache configuration issue? Version as an
XMLPRC api method has been
in pretty much every version of Cobbler.
Another likely problem is that -- if you built it yourself (not a
rpmbuild --rebuild, but actually built it yourself)
that the version file was missing from /var/lib/cobbler/version.
This wouldn't happen with a rpmbuild rebuilt version, however -- but if
you built from
source ("make rpms", etc) on a system without git installed, it could be
possible.

You shouldn't do this -- the authn/authz layers are enforced by
cobblerd, not Apache. Just because
we don't log does not mean it is not being used. (Logging levels and
levels of detail possibly
being subject to another discussion of course, that's a valid point).
Anyway, authn/authz is still controlled by /etc/cobbler/modules.conf --
this has *not* changed.
It would not be effective to enforce user control only at the web access
level because then we wouldn't
be securing other XMLRPC clients. Further, doing double authentication
via Apache and then also
Django ... I'm not sure what that would do.
