The problem is that you'll not be able to delete pidfile.
This is not actually needed when daemon use pidfile(3), but could be
problematic for other daemons.

I'm also not sure I like the idea with directories owned not be the root
in /var/run/ directory. This will be yet another place I need to remember
not only root have write access to.
