Greetings. I have two cobbler systems running 2.6.5 and 2.6.11, and both are exhibiting this same behavior. I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong, or just something I don't understand.
My default kickstart calls a snippet called "set_password". The default "set_password" snippet, located in /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/set_password , includes this line: rootpw --iscrypted '$1$abcdef$abcdefghabcdefghabcdef' That works fine. So far so good. But when I take this same **exact** file and copy it to /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/per_profile/set_password/support , then the snippet fails. It is trying to expand the non-existent variables $abcdef and $abcdefghabcdefghabcdef . I can verify this by changing the two dollar signs ($1 doesn't seem to be affected) and the snippet loads properly. So I guess my question is two-fold Which is the correct behavior, in a single-quoted string that contains dollar signs? Extrapolate the variable or don't? Why is this behavior changing between a default snippet and a per-profile (also for a per-system) snippet? Thanks. Eric B.
