Bug ID: 235791
Summary: service(8) does not respect login.conf
Product: Base System
Version: 11.2-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: and...@tao11.riddles.org.uk
service(8) sets an empty environment via env -i when invoking rc.d files.
This is wrong, because it's not the same environment that init provides, which
comes from the "daemon" login class in login.conf.
The practical upshot of this is that there is no way (short of modifying the
scripts) to set environment variables that rc.d scripts might need, such as an
HTTP_PROXY setting to allow "service ntpd onefetch" to work on a system behind
a proxy.
Related but possibly less serious: when rc.subr invokes a command under a
specified login class, it sets only the resource limits and not the
environment.
To reproduce:
add HTTP_PROXY=http\c//yourproxyhost\cport/ to the setenv= property of
"default" or "daemon" in login.conf
then observe (from a host with no public connectivity)
# service ntpd onefetch
fetch: https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list: Network is
unreachable
