Description Carsten Clasohm 2008-04-07 07:52:34 UTC 
Description of problem:

With the current version of Cobbler, the findks.cgi script does not work,
because the structure of the "system" record has changed. ip_address and
mac_address are no longer top-level keys.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

cobbler-0.8.2-1.el5

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a system in the Cobbler Web UI, and set the MAC address or IP address
of the first interface.

2. Try to kickstart the system with the kickstart URL
http://server/cgi-bin/cobbler/findks.cgi
  
Actual results:

Kickstart does not work. If you access the findks.cgi script from your browser,
you see the error message attached as findks-error.txt.

Expected results:

Matching on IP or MAC address should work.

Additional info:

The attached findks.patch fixes this problem.

Seeing recent changes to the CC list for this one, please note that cobbler no longer uses any more CGI scripts.

If we need to reinstate similar functionality, we should do it through the mod_python handler -- should be easy enough to do.

Open up an email to cobbler list if you are interested and I can offer some tips in terms of patching this... otherwise, will be pushed back a bit in the queue.
