Kurt Seifried (kseifried) reports:

While looking at various components for Storage I ran across some tmp file issues in ctdb:

========================================
./ctdb-1.0.114.5/tcp/tcp_connect.c:	const char *lock_path = "/tmp/.ctdb_socket_lock";
        const char *lock_path = "/tmp/.ctdb_socket_lock";
        struct flock lock;
        int one = 1;
        int sock_size;

        /* in order to ensure that we don't get two nodes with the

        lock_fd = open(lock_path, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666);
        if (lock_fd == -1) {
                DEBUG(DEBUG_CRIT,("Unable to open %s\n", lock_path));
                return -1;
        }

========================================
./ctdb-1.0.114.5/include/ctdb_private.h:#define CTDB_PATH	"/tmp/ctdb.socket"

It varies a bit in newer versions but the core problems are present.

This only exists in ctdb srpm in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, but the script is not shipped as part of ctdb binary packages.
