Controlfile + Rules doesn't work

22 Sep 2004

      Hi there,

after working without any rules or templates, I would create some rules to
merge my autoyast profile for different workstations.
My Profile directory is: '/pub/suse/9.1/autoyast/' ... I starts the
autoyast routine on the commandline without a speficy profile
(Autoyast=nfs://10.xxx.xxx.62/pub/suse/9.1/autoyast/)

my rules.xml is in '/pub/suse/9.1/autoyast/rules/rules.xml' and contains
following lines:

<CTYPE autoinstall SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/rules.dtd">
<autoinstall xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config
="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns">
 <rules config:type="list">
        <rule>
                <mac>
                        <match>00B0D0E25C86</match>
                        <match_type>exact</match_type>
                </mac>
                <result>
                        <profile>km2.xml</profile>
                        <continue config:type="boolean">false</continue>
                </result>
        </rule>
 </rules>
</autoinstall>

the needed profile is in '/pub/suse/9.1/autoyast/' and is should be
accessable to any user!

Before AutoYast starts parsing my Controlfile, it receive the rules.xml and
want to receive my controlfile to merge it.
There's my problem, at this stage autoyast tells me, it couldn't find my
profile and i should enter the fullpath to the controlfile.

But I'm sure, the controlfile is in '/pub/suse/9.1/autoyast/' with filename
"km2.xml" if I symlink my HexIP to my controlfile it works fine!

Any Solutions?
