Summary0000922: Webconfig cannot be stopped or restarted
DescriptionPermissions on /var/run/webconfig are:

drwx--x---. 2 root webconfig 4096 Jan 8 09:19 webconfig

Webconfig cannot write it's pid file to this directory, so the init script fails to stop or restart the daemon.
TagsNo tags attached.

Those are weird permissions, but identical to those used by httpd. I can't duplicate the problem -- it looks like the PID file is written as root before permissions are dropped back to webconfig (?)

Hmm...weird thing is, I set permissions back to original, and everything works OK...However, I'm 100% sure this was broken for some reason...here is the session log:

Mark as not reproducible for now, I guess.
