Re: passing environment variable to cfengine daemons

restarting all cfengine processe made the thing rolling...

i added this to def.cf:

  aix::
      "environment_vars"
        handle => "common_def_vars_environment_vars",
        comment => "Environment variables of the agent process. The values
                    of environment variables are inherited by child 
commands.
                    This variable makes aix more unix conform, should not 
hurt
                    in cfengine context",
        slist => {
                   "XPG_SUS_ENV=ON",
                 };

 this to cf_agent.cf:

  # Environment variables based on Distro


    debian|aix::

      environment => { @(def.environment_vars) };

  shall i do an PR?
