All dandy:
$ grep PID /etc/mixmaster/remailer.confiler.conf
PIDFILE /var/run/mixmaster/mixmaster.pid
The relevant lines
$ grep -Hn start /etc/init.d/mixmastermixmaster
/etc/init.d/mixmaster:37: start)
/etc/init.d/mixmaster:51: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --user
$USER --chuid $USER:$GROUP --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS
/etc/init.d/mixmaster:57: echo -n "$NAME"; start-stop-daemon --stop
--quiet --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/mixmaster/mixmaster.pid --user $USER --exec
$DAEMON
User and group:
$ grep mixmaster /etc/{group,passwd}p,passwd}
/etc/group:mixmaster:x:113:
/etc/passwd:mixmaster:x:113:113:Anonymous
Remailer,,,:/var/lib/mixmaster:/bin/bash
Perhaps --chuid bug in start-stop-daemon?

All works with e.g. ntp daemon:
$ /etc/default /etc/init.d/ntp stop
Stopping NTP server: ntpd.
$ /etc/default ls -la /var/run/ntpd.pid
ls: /var/run/ntpd.pid: No such file or directory
$ /etc/etc/init.d/ntp startntp start
Starting NTP server: ntpd.
$ /etcls -la /vls -la /var/run/ntpd.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 2007-03-01 18:31 /var/run/ntpd.pid
But not with mixmaster
$ sh -x /etc/init.d/mixmaster start
+ set -e

+ NAME=mixmaster

+ VALUE=1Mix2Master
+ '[' 1Mix2Master = '' ']'
+ echo 'Starting Mixmaster Daemon: mixmaster...'
Starting Mixmaster Daemon: mixmaster...
+ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --user mixmaster --chuid
mixmaster:mixmaster --exec /usr/bin/mixmaster -- --daemon --no-ask-passphrase
Mixmaster 3.0b2
Detaching.
+ echo done.
done.
+ exit 0
$ ls -la /var/run/mixmaster/mixmaster.pid
ls: /var/run/mixmaster/mixmaster.pid: No such file or directory
