I would need to look at this further to tell. Haven't done so yet, but
in general it's not managing
samba generically but only for it's own purposes.
I can see this having additional manual setup requirements and maybe a
boolean in settings
to enable it, plus some extra Wiki docs. TBD.
That's what I was thinking, another boolean with a templated config file
for samba available in /etc/cobbler. This would put it in-line with dhcpd.

We might be able to treat them as an answer file directly (--kickstart)
for the most part. If they have more than
one file to generate, then yes.
The issue here is the same as it is with Solaris: the file needs to be
present on a share and can't be created on the fly - so it would have to be
created during a sync. We could specify that the --kickstart file is the
basis for this, but it would have to be generated on a sync (preferably
only on a lite sync).
