Justin and I were working on this for a bit, and we now have a Cobbler 
authn_spacewalk module that not only accepts tokens, but also valid 
spacewalk usernames/passwords.

This will be included in Cobbler 1.4.3 when it comes out.

Note:  We probably need to limit what users can get into cobbler this 
way.    Right now it lets everyone with a spacewalk account in, so this 
will be fixed soon.

Anyhow, testing welcome, and if you want to just replace this one file 
in your cobbler install, restart cobblerd, and test it that would be great.

Thanks!
