Sure, you can make it do anything. If you're looking at building a full ks.cfg from the ground up, you can add more questions and output to a new ks.cfg. If you have an existing template you want to use and only want to chug in a few values look at using "sed" If you only want a response for this section, you can just use a "here document" and just echo the entire ks.cfg out including the user input information for network section. Like I said, you can do pretty much anything, you probably want to look at simple bash examples while you create this script.

Start to create something and post what you have and will continue to help you out.

mz.cfg(1)						      General Commands Manual							 mz.cfg(1)

NAME

       mz - a fast versatile packet generator

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/mausezahn/mz.cfg

DESCRIPTION

       Mausezahn  is  a free fast traffic generator written in C which allows you to send nearly every possible and impossible packet. Mausezahn's
       MOPS subsystem (Mausezahn's Own Packet System) supports an interactive mode with a Cisco-style command line interface (CLI).  In  order	to
       activate this interactive mode, execute Mausezahn using the -x argument, optionally followed by an arbitrary TCP port number, such as

       # mz -x 99

       in which case you can connect to Mausezahn via

       $ telnet 127.0.0.1 99

       If  no port number is specified, Mausezahn uses the default port number 25542 (which is the date of towel day followed by the answer to the
       universe and everything; however, you don't need to understand this in order to continue).

       Login credentials as well as other MOPS-related parameters can  be  specified  in  the  Mausezahn  configuration  file  mz.cfg  located	in
       etc/mausezahn. Currently, user-specific configuration files are not supported.

       If no configuration file is present Mausezahn assumes the following default login credentials:

	      username: mz
	      password: mz
	      enable password: mops

       Currently only login credentials can be configured within the configuration file. Here is an example content of /etc/mausezahn/mz.cfg:

	      user = herbert
	      password = moTTe
	      enable = T0p5ecreT

       Additional configuration options will be officially supported with the next releases.
