openswan does not accept environment variables when starting

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Openswan's pluto daemon supports a few environment variables that control channel retransmission delays and counts, including:

PLUTO_EVENT_RETRANSMIT_DELAY
PLUTO_MAXIMUM_RETRANSMISSIONS
PLUTO_MAXIMUM_RETRANSMISSIONS_INITIAL
PLUTO_MAXIMUM_RETRANSMISSIONS_QUICK_R1

When setting these via export, pluto still operates under the default values.

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
