The problem is that you'll not be able to delete pidfile. This is not actually needed when daemon use pidfile(3), but could be problematic for other daemons. I'm also not sure I like the idea with directories owned not be the root in /var/run/ directory. This will be yet another place I need to remember not only root have write access to. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
