Cobbler API - Mac registration problem

Thanks!

Mac registration has been revamped. It works /very/ well in 0.9.X (the
devel branch) at this point.
There is a new registration enabling option in settings to turn on but
it works a lot more smoothly.
If you would like to play with the devel version before we have a test
release, see the instructions at
We will have a test release probably next week with source rpms but
there's no reason you couldn't try it
now...

I think the problem is because the 'mac' key is in a nested list, not
sure though.
Ah, this is your script? Glad to see more interest in API hacking!
Yes, I did some work to add this recently. Definitely check out the
devel branch. If you are interested in the code, see 'remote.py' and
'services.py'.
The idea was to consolidate all of the cgi-bin stuff on mod_python to
simplify things. All of the mod_python code ('services.py')
effectively sends requests
down to cobblerd via XMLRPC ('remote.py'). Since this relies on
kssendmac in the kernel options line, you won't see results from running
"wget", but if you request those kickstart URLs from Anaconda
registration (if enabled in settings via the new option) will occur.
It has some security features in that it will not add a system if mac is
already in the "database" and works by detecting the mac of the system
when they request the kickstart file from the mod python kickstart
generator (kickstarts are no longer statically generated on the filesystem).

In the interest of completeness, the issue is that cobbler now suppports
multiple network interfaces. So your script has to use the API to
modify network interfaces, which is slightly varied from the above.
See remote.py on the devel branch for how that is done. The WebUI,
which is written against the same XMLRPC interface, is also a good
reference. (cobbler/web/CobblerWeb.py)

Cobbler API - Mac registration problem
What I'm hoping to achieve here, is to register the system with cobbler on first boot, I'm planning on plugging it into a script that runs at first boot anyway. Since auto reg isn't part of cobbler 0.8.3-3.el5, I'm hoping to use this as a work around.
It works fine registering the system name and profile, but falls over when I try and register the mac. Will have a snoop around in the code..

You have to do auto registration via the kickstart fetcher -- as
Anaconda doesn't send the MAC for all %pre/%post requests (like I
previously thought...). Another thing that had to be done was to make
some changes to allow those kind of URLs to be tolerated by the virt
code -- so all in all, your best bet is 0.9.X.
