Hey Pete,
  Yes, I have started cobblerd.  I can telnet to port 25151 and connect.
Here is the output from netstat -anp:

[root at hydra ~]# netstat -anp|grep 25151
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25151               0.0.0.0:*                 
 LISTEN      18323/python
[root at hydra ~]# ps -ef|grep 18323
root     18323 18322  0 Aug23 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/cobblerd
