Package: yate
Version: 4.3.0-1~dfsg-1

Hi,

Bug #469729 has a patch which causes start-stop-daemon to set the user to
be 'yate'.

Unfortunately this means that Yate will never create its log files (by
default /etc/log/yate) or pid file (/run/yate.pid) since it will not have
permission to create files in those directories.

Suggestions:
 - revert the patch
 - should those directories have a group called 'daemon', and then all
daemons can have write access to that directory?
 - yate should be patched to create those files, then drop privileges and
the patch removed

Thanks,
Anand
