(This is the same as bug #603248) The init script for rmilter creates its socket directory with, mkdir -m0750 -p $RUNDIR chown rmilter:rmilter $RUNDIR chmod g+s $RUNDIR It would be better to use a single call to "checkpath" from OpenRC. It's more portable, being part of OpenRC, and more secure: with chown and chmod, you run the risk of following symlinks if the "rmilter" user is ever able to overwrite that path. Doing so would essentially give rmilter root, since he could take ownership of any path on the system.
Fixed in the tree.
