[et-mgmt-tools] Cobbler - Fix to help enable authentication for the webinterface

Hi,

The current process for enabled authentication for the webinterface
involves setting "AllowOverride Node" to "AllowOverride All" for the
cgi-bin directory in the main apache configfile.

This can be solved much cleaner by adding this to the cobbler.conf
httpd configfile :

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin/cobbler">
    AllowOverride All
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

This only sets the "AllowOverride" for the Cobbler cgi-bin directory,
not the whole cgi-bin directory. It's all a bit cleaner.

Regards,
Tim

Hoping the problem  magically goes away  by ignoring it is the
