[Spacewalk-list] Custom System Info during kickstart?

[Giovanni Torres]

It seems that a user must be configured as an Organization Administrator in order to use rhn-custom-info.  The python script I wrote would also need the same level of privileges, which is why I originally asked if there was any inherent way in Spacewalk's kickstart profile settings to accomplish this.  There doesn't seem to be.
The Org Admin role is too much privileges just to accomplish what I want (i.e. set custom info during kickstart), since Org Admins have the ability to run remote commands where configured.  In this case, I'd prefer not to have that password hanging out in some cobbler kickstart file.

I guess I meant to ask if there was a "built-in" way to set custom info that could be used in the kickstart process.  rhn-custom-info is what I was looking for and accomplishes the same thing as my small python script.  Both, however, require a username and password.

What are the minimum privileges required for a user to configure this setting? Would I have to assign this user to the Organization Administrator role?
Thanks,Giovanni
