[rhelv6-list] Curious vsftpd isssue

[Cale Fairchild]

Today I discovered a peculiar issue with the vsftpd init scripts. My 
vsftpd daemon stopped authenticating properly because when I restarted 
the service as root the vsftpd daemon inherited the current root 
environment which included redirected TMP variable set to /root/tmp. Of 
course when it was set that way the selinux context was incorrect and 
the permissions on the directory itself was very restrictive. I worked 
around the problem by resetting my TMP and TMPDIR variables to /tmp and 
restarting the service again but I am wondering if this should be filed 
as a bug?
