well cobbler will still run as root, won't it ;)

a side effect of using sudo to run cobbler commands is that you get some 
sort of accounting of commands run for "free" in syslog which i think is 
kinda nice. 

Although - using ACLs is may be a more elegant solution since it should 
help lock down some sites where you want junior admins building systems, 
but don't trust them with sudo yet.

just my two bits though...
