So, ulogd2 creates a directory /run/ulog which is owned by ulog:ulog but
then creates the pid file /run/ulog/ulog.pid owned by root:root.

I assume if you overwrite /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ulogd2.conf by creating a
/etc/tmpfiles.d/ulogd2.conf containing

d /run/ulog 0755 root root - -

ulogd2 will start properly

I assume, ulogd2 should either ensure the pidfile is owned ulog:ulog or
change the run directory to match the permissions of the pid file.

Does munin-node have the same mismatch?
