Subject: Nonpriveleged daemons and pid files

Hello,

now more and more daemons can be run from non-priveleged
account - BIND, MTAs, DBMS'es and so on, but it
sometimes leads to two minor problems - either this daemon
can't create pid file in /var/run or it can't update it on
restart. What is the common way to overcome that problem -
it's very convinient to store them in one place.
