I see you've already come up with another solution, but I solve this issue here
with snippets. Below is my snippet for setting the time zone. I'm not a
python
programmer and still get confused by Cheetah, so the regex logic is actually
stolen from another standard Cobbler snippet I think. I pretty much just built
the array and added some ifs.
In my case, we have standardized host names with a site code being the first 3
characters, which I simply evaluate to determine where in the world it is.
Although this snippet actually looks at the Cobbler system name so non-standard
names can still be accommodated by prefixing the system name and leaving the
configured host name correct. My system names typically match my host names.
I
don't yet do any synchronization between my Cobbler servers, but this snippet
could be used on any of them as is. And since I don't intend to put Cobbler
servers at all these sites, it's very likely I would need to build a system
destined for a time zone other than the Cobbler server's local time zone.
