Package: distributed-net-pproxy
Version: 280-2
Severity: normal

startup script seems to be more confued than i am about it. it starts proxy
as user nobody, with running start-stop-daemon. but, "nobody" hasn't got
access rights to /var/run/* or /var/log/*. does that make sense? once
startet, it wants to create a   pidfile again , wich would overwrite ssd's
pidfile, which wasn't ceated before. once i want to stop this process, it
won't. jut says "no such procesee", removes existing pidfile, and that's
it. 

i tried to fiddle around with this, but do not realy know what's going on.
any hints? (i looked at manpage for ssd, but it's not enough forme...)
