I don't have my file handy, but I set the env var using the Environment directive https://coreos.com/os/docs/latest/using-environment- variables-in-systemd-units.html So something like: [Service] Environment=RSYNC_PROXY=proxy.example.com:3128 ... I'd propose that cobbler should add an EnvironmentFile directive to the unit file pointed to something like /etc/sysconfig/cobblerd which could be distributed empty and marked as a config file. That way these sorts of things can be done easily.

I've gotten it to work by setting RSYNC_PROXY in the cobblerd environment using the systemd unit file. But, I'd prefer to avoid modifying files installed by rpm that aren't marked as config. > > _______________________________________________ > > cobbler mailing list -- cobbler(a)lists.fedorahosted.org > > To unsubscribe send an email to cobbler-leave(a)lists.fedorahosted.org > _______________________________________________ > cobbler mailing list -- cobbler(a)lists.fedorahosted.org > To unsubscribe send an email to cobbler-leave(a)lists.fedorahosted.org
