Description of problem: It's a common convention for an initscript to source a configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/ to get local configuration changes. /etc/init.d/cobblerd doesn't do this. As such there is no way to set something in cobblerd's environment such as proxy configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cobbler-2.4.0-1.el6.noarch /etc/init.d/cobblerd should source /etc/sysconfig/cobblerd for such things as setting a proxy in cobblerd's environment.
Hi Brian, this is a feature request and not really a bug. Could you open an issue over at github so I can track this there? Thanks!
James, Except that /etc/sysconfig/* is a RHism. Do you really want to add distro-specific bits to the generic upstream project?
In any case, done: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues/579
While we wait for upstream to address this, can we please have a patched cobbler package that includes this?
The upstream ticket has been closed with the resolution that the fix is in the 2.6.0 release of cobbler. I'm re-opening this ticket with an action of of updating the RH cobbler package to the upstream 2.6.0.
