+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #246063 +++ Description of problem: Since FC6 the utemper binary is hidden in /usr/libexec/utempter and applications using libutempter are required to have setgid utempter. This is causing problems as the applications have removed some environment variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH and TMPDIR (see bug #229360). Please move the utempter binary back to /usr/sbin and drop utempter group, or change permissions of the directory to 755.
