Users with small sites and a limited number of admins can probably ignore this option. All cobbler objects (distros, profiles, systems, and repos) can take a --owners parameter to specify what cobbler users can edit particular objects. This only applies to the Cobbler WebUI and XMLRPC interface, not the "cobbler" command line tool run from the shell. Furthermore, this is only respected by the "authz_ownership" module which must be enabled in /etc/cobbler/modules.conf. The value for --owners is a comma seperated list of users and groups as specified in /etc/cobbler/users.conf. For more information see the users.conf file as well as the Cobbler Wiki. In the default Cobbler configuration, this value is completely ignored, as is users.conf.
+=item template-files
+
+This feature allows cobbler to be used as a configuration management system. The argument is a space delimited string of key=value pairs. Each key is the path to a template file, each value is the path to install the file on the system. This is described in further detail on the Cobbler Wiki and is implemented using special code in the post install. Koan also can retrieve these files from a cobbler server on demand, effectively allowing cobbler to function as a lightweight templated configuration management system.
