You might want to look at configuring Ansible instead. Maybe override its notion of the shell (ansible_env.SHELL) with a value such as "/bin/ksh -l" to force ksh to source the /etc/profile and ~/.profile files. Or maybe create a login class for your ansible users and set the environment variables in /etc/login.conf. Also, assuming ansible is connecting via ssh, maybe set your variables in ~/.ssh/environment. That's per-user though, and the man page does not mention a global equivalent such as /etc/ssh/environment None of these tested, just some ideas. Allan
