So it seems the issue is that the report isn't showing the field properly if all it's doing is inheriting, the way ksmeta/kopts* do. > [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler system dumpvars --name=nb2|grep ^template > template_files : /srv/cobbler/ub_hosts=/etc/hosts > /srv/cobbler/ub_hostname=/etc/hostname > /srv/cobbler/ub_static_interfaces=/etc/network/interfaces > [...] > >> Currently, only ksmeta, kopts and kopts-post allow you to >> blend things like that. > > Yes.

And yeah, if they're still not blending it would be a feature request, so go ahead and open that issue. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
