Package: pidentd
Version: 3.0.19.ds1-3
Severity: serious
In my logs I noticed:
identd[8496]: s_open("/var/run/identd.pid", O_WRONLY): Permission denied
Which can be explained as it runs as identd and not as root.
Because of this, there is a special directory in /var/run:
$ ls -ld /var/run/identd/
drwxr-xr-x 2 identd nogroup 1024 2006-06-27 16:45 /var/run/identd/
But it seems that directory is no longer used, even though it looks like
it _was_ used in Etch.
/etc/identd.conf for Etch has:
# server:pid-file = "/var/run/identd/identd.pid"
while the same file for Sid has:
# server:pid-file = "/var/run/identd.pid"
Looks like this change of the default location of the pid file needs to
be reverted!
