Is there a way to disable this completely? The main reason for my question is that cobbler adds a default key to all systems using the "Red Hat Management Key" variable, and we don't want that. I've tried to edit the cobbler profiles to remove that auto-generated key, but I don't seem to be able to do that. We're adding our own activation keys in a post script and re-registering the system, which causes the system to be registered twice. Once with the by cobbler auto generated key, and once with our keys. /Jonas </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Within the activation key section of the kickstart have you tried not associating the kickstart with any activation keys? Also within the advanced options of the kickstart do you have key set to --skip ?
