Description Francesco Pretto 2008-07-20 11:26:49 UTC 
Gentoo start-stop-daemon util lacks the -k|--umask option: this option permits setting the umask flag of the launched daemon, and is useful in many appliances. Just as an example, I need it to set less restrictive umasks for the mldonkey and rsync daemons: the inability of doing so (at least I don't know how to set it on a per-daemon base) just leads me to configure even less secure setups. This has been added in 2006 in mainstream debian dpkg [1]: would be cool if you sync the obsolete start-stop-daemon in gentoo baselayout to add this option.

Oh, yes! I knew gentoo is still great! :-)
Thanks

Will try later, as I'm in production now. When I'll switch to openrc (which stable version will feture this?) I'll do some test. If needed, I'll reopen this bug or create a new one.
