Bug#447361: Weird permissions on .pid file

[Loïc Minier]

Package: system-tools-backends
Version: 2.2.1-4
Severity: important

        Hi,

 /var/run/system-tools-backends.pid has weird permissions on my system.
 I once saw it as:
--wsr-Sr-T 1 root            root                5 2007-05-01 08:41 system-tools-backends.pid

 But now it's rather:
-r-sr-x--t 1 root            root               4 2007-10-18 09:22 system-tools-backends.pid

 Rming it between dbus stop and start gives again:
-r-sr-x--t 1 root            root               4 2007-10-18 09:22 system-tools-backends.pid

 It's the only daemon with such permissions, I have no idea what they
 are for, but they look like a bug or misfeature and I'm worried about
 them, although I couldn't any direct security implication right now.

   Bye,
