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? Cale Fairchild </body> </html>
