On the pid files I see your point. Not that it changes the problem, but
it does at least point out that more needs to be done and that the
current solution is incomplete.
Good, and your point about context and such is well taken. I still feel
that the way to
solve this would be to copy *just* the PID files to a real /var/run and
any directories
being created would have default permissions. It just feels as if
there's a single point
at which this could be done. And of course "if you broke it, you should
fix it." That's
a popular thing Linus said, but the principle dates back to MULTICS, at
least (70's).
