Template: cobbler/password
Type: password
_Description: New password for the "cobbler" user:
It is highly recommended that you set a password for the
administrative "cobbler" user.
.
You can also run password reconfiguration later by executing
'dpkg-reconfigure -plow cobbler'.
.

sudo htdigest /etc/cobbler/users.digest "Cobbler" USERNAME
Template: cobbler/server
Type: string
Default: localhost
_Description: Address of the Cobbler server:
This is the address of the cobbler server, as it is used
by systems during the install process, it must be the address
or hostname of the system as those systems can see the server.
.
The "next_server" field must be set to something other than
127.0.0.1, and should match the IP address of the boot server
on the PXE network.

however they can be manually edited in "/etc/cobbler/settings".
Template: cobbler/next_server
Type: string
Default: 127.0.0.1
_Description: Set the Boot and PXE server IP address:

important to set the correct IP addresses in the fields
"server" and "next_server" in "/etc/cobbler/settings".
.
The "server" field must be set to something other than localhost, or
Kickstart features will not work. This should be a resolvable hostname
or IP address for the boot server as reachable by all machines that
will use it.
