Unfortunately, I can’t use #raw in this particular instance. I shortened the code to demonstrate the problem, but I use the same construct in another couple of places, and I need to have variables expanded in general. I just want to specify that this particular string has dollar-signs but is **not** a variable. I thought single-quoting would do that, but apparently I was wrong. Also, thank you for the link. The link I had (http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/) is apparently way out of date. I eventually found a work-around: #set $crypted_password = '$1$abcdef$abcdefghabcdefghabcdef' rootpw --iscrypted $crypted_password but I’m still confused as to why the behavior is different. --EbH From: alast...@alastair-munro.com [mailto:alast...@alastair-munro.com] Sent: Monday 19 December 2016 14:06 To: cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org Subject: [cobbler] Re: Variable extrapolation Hi https://pythonhosted.org/Cheetah/ Try #raw #end raw around your password line with $ in it. -- Alastair Munro -----Original Message----- From: "Hymowitz, Eric B.

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.
