I've noted several nice efforts on this list to produce ks files from
dynamically generated web forms such as Brian Long's Kickstart tools
(http://kickstart-tools.sf.net/ ) and NC State's web-kickstart
(http://linux.ncsu.edu/projects/web-kickstart/) to name just two.
However, rolling your own ks web form effectively creates your own
personal fork of ..config-kickstart that must then be maintained and so
loses the leverage of the mainstream RH/Fedora tool. The recent
addition of SElinux <--disable> <--enforce> ... switch and the
included hardward lists come to mind as details I'd rather not be
updating on web scripts.
So Im interested in ways to directly leverage this existing tool as much
as possible for creating remote ks config files for multiple hosts/
users. We've looked at the Java X Server weirdx for instance as a way
of giving anyone (including Win32 people) w/ a browser the ability to
gen a ks file but so far weirdx doesnt work to well with the python
based gui coming from ..config-kickstart ( weird has poor/no support
for X extensions like Render). So any other ideas? Whats the level of
effort to mod the python config tool to throw out html ala SWAT for Samba?
