Why do you require more than just a PID file to have a subdir in /var/run? The FHS says it is okay. Why can't we use the maintainer's defaults, if the only thing we have to do is create a one-line instruction to create an entry in the createfiles file? Seems easier than patching a package, if there is no configure switch to move the PID file. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 23:15:00 up 113 days, 22:48, 2 users, load average: 0.22, 0.24, 0.19 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
