Package: pidentd
Version: 3.0.19.ds1-3
Followup-For: Bug #427409
My daemon.log shows:
Jun 10 15:08:39 ansset identd[5713]: started
Jun 10 15:08:39 ansset identd[5713]: s_open("/var/run/identd.pid", O_WRONLY):
Permission denied
and so on. The reason is that identd runs as nobody and /var/run is:
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 2007-06-10 15:18 /var/run/
Note that during installation of pidentd we get:
[...]

Setting up pidentd (3.0.19.ds1-3) ...
adduser: Warning: that home directory does not belong to the user you are

And the accompanying error when purging this package:
