[Bug 304071] Re: prayer doesn't start due to missing directory

[Magnus Holmgren]

Yes. Thank you. Judging from discussions about /var/run on the debian-
devel mailing list, mounting a tmpfs on /var/run has been the default
for a long time, so I wonder why nobody reported this bug sooner...

As a workaround, you can put

  install -d -o prayer -m 0750 /var/run/prayer

on the first line in the start() subroutine in /etc/init.d/prayer. I'm
considering whether prayer should be (carefully) patched to create
certain directories before dropping root privileges.
