Hmm. As I understand you think that gated/innd/etc. must be fixed to store
pid file at /var/db/ instead, so I need to restore /var/run cleaning in
/etc/rc...  This method have one disadvantage, each port/port upgrade
which produce .pid file must be explicitly checked that it test/not test
for .pid file presence at startup... 
I am not shure, which solution is better variant... Do you have any
additional arguments/ideas?
