At work, myself and some other developers are working on a (much more complex) system that reads MACs out of DHCP logs and then generates a file for the connecting system. You could do it that way.

I am new to Cobbler, and am wondering if anyone uses it to provision a large cluster? Rather than having to collect a lot of MAC addresses and manually create all the system records, I'd like to be able to have systems register themselves when they are first booted.

I've seen the snippet 'cobbler_register' which seems intended for this purpose, but I can't figure out how to use it. Is anyone doing this? If so can you provide specifics on how to do so?
