Say it with me: the pidfile and its parent directories should only be writable by root unless you use supervise-daemon ;) With `checkpath -o someuser:someuser $pidfile` in start_pre(), it can cause DOS attacks because the now unprivelaged process can replace the pidfile with some other pid number in it like pid 1 and cause the host machine to crash when the daemon finally stops. Supervise-daemon can supervise without the daemon creating a pidfile so don't export the variable at all. That assumes the scripts *are* using supervise-daemon, if supervise-daemon fails to start (due to maybe some incorrect config option *wink wink*) then OpenRC falls back to the older start-stop-daemon and that *does* use the $pidfile. If thats the case then the daemon will simply fail to start (yes I haven't tested if any these packages work without $pidfile which they should since they are specifying `supervisor=supervise-daemon`). IMO failing to start is better than running in a potentially vulnerable configuration.
