I just noticed a pid file that only root can read. There is no
sensitive information there, and it prevents normal users to check for
the service status for example.
It would be nice if adequate could check for pid files to be
world-readable.
Hmm, I'm not sure there's consensus that all pid files should be
world-readable. Could you ask on debian-devel?
I'm not sure how it would match the pacakge with the pid filename
though?
Maybe something like this?
dpkg -S $(readlink /proc/$(cat /path/to/pidfile)/exe)
But it's not pretty, and it would work only for the root user, and
wouldn't work for scripts...
