Description smkbot 2015-04-02 22:04:35 UTC
net-misc/netifrc uses /var/run for pid file paths instead of /run.

For example, /lib64/netifrc/net/dhcpcd.sh has:

pidfile="/var/run/dhcpcd-${IFACE}.pid"

dhcpcd stores its pid file in /run.

On most Gentoo systems, /var/run is symlinked to /run I think, but this isn't a guarantee.

These paths should be updated.
