Description Daniel Walsh 2012-01-17 15:47:55 UTC 
I would like to propose using PrivateTmp for l2tpd systemd unit file
This should make the use of /tmp directory more secure
and avoid users from being able to potentially effect it.

Comment 2 Paul Wouters 2012-02-28 02:28:46 UTC 
I don't think this daemon needs to write in /tmp at all.

The only place where this daemon does need to write is /var/run/ to create the l2tp-socket with which users talk to the daemon (/var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-socket)
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2012-02-28 19:54:19 UTC 
I think at one time the sock file was in /tmp.  I will clean up the policy and close this bug.
