I am trying to install SecurityOnion (an xubuntu 12.04 based linux distrobution) using cobbler.
I have followed the instructions here to get cobbler installed from source on Ubuntu 12.04.
I have also followed the instructions here to configure cobbler but I am getting an error on the cobbler import step.
I am running
cobbler import --name=securityonion --path=/media/iso --breed=ubuntu
but it fails

No signature matched in /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/securityonion
!!! TASK FAILED !!!
I assume this is because I need to add a signature to /var/lib/cobbler/distro_signatures.json
I know I should be able to copy and paste the definition for precise and make it work since SecurityOnion uses 12.04 but I don't know how to change the definition so that it matches whatever string of text I assume cobbler is looking for under the installation files that make up securityonion.
I have read the documentation on cobbler site but it doesn't seem to give me what I need to be able to add an additional distribution.
Anyone know what I can do to modify the signatures file to accept this additional distribution?
Cobbler will download the latest 'update' distro_signatures.json using the command below:
