Thanks Michael & Al! I am somewhat of a newbie also with xmlrpc and am having trouble authenticating to webui. I have selinux disabled and have "xmlrpc_rw_enabled: 1" and did a "service cobblerd restart" after updating to 0.6.2-1 from 0.6.1. I am unclear what "anyusername = yourpasswordhere" means. I tried the testuser with its password but did not have any joy. I also tried my existing user/password combo. I am assuming auth.conf is similar to .htaccess but am a little concerned about the clear text aspect.
