Description Bill Peck 2012-11-14 14:10:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
Currently the timezone is set in the kickstart file like so:

# System timezone
timezone {{ timezone|default('America/New_York') }}

It can be overridden via the system install options or via a job xml, but the default is currently the same for all labs.

If this could be moved to a snippet then we could have a different default value for each lab while still allowing it be overridden if need be.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.4

This is in response to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868859
Comment 5 Qixiang Wan 2012-12-24 10:35:38 UTC 
Verified by adding a per-lab snippet:
$ cat /etc/beaker/snippets/per_lab/timezone/$LAB_CONTROLLER_FQDN
timezone {{ timezone|default('Asia/Shanghai') }}

After provision, the snippet take effect successfully on the systems which are related to that lab controller:

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
ZONE="Asia/Shanghai"
