Package: xinetd Version: 1:2.3.14-1 Severity: normal
On my host, root has TMPDIR=/tmp/root set in its environment. When I restart xinetd (/etc/init.d/xinetd.d start) with this set, it propagates through to xinetd and then to the services that xinetd starts. Since /tmp/root is readable only by root, this causes some services that run with less than root privileges (e.g. smbd) to fail mysteriously. xinetd should clear TMPDIR from its environment, either before it starts itself, or before it starts other services.
