I am using Cobbler to provide Linux distributions to users in an automated provisioning application. The used FTP server will not allow anonymous access anymore. However, afaik Cobbler requires that FTP user/password are set in the kickstart file, the ks file is made available via http and it is transmitted unencrypted from the Cobbler server to the target system. Therefore, anyone could look at the user/password in the ks file. Are there any ways to improve security here? I've thought about temporary passwords, but I think this is not good enough, as the vulnerability will still
be there, just for a shorter time.

I know the question may be out of Cobbler scope, but I hope other users already faced the same problem.

Thanks in advance,
Alan Evangelista
