Hello, so I had little time to work on this. looks like --pidfile option is actually necessary because the build process of Gentoo will configure tincd as follows: ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-jumbograms --enable-lzo --enable-zlib this causing the pidfile to be created in /var/lib/run instead of /var/run. so I did not touch the --pidfile option in the command line. regarding the use of syslog in gentoo I followed the suggestion from Gentoo developers and I created a new version of the ebuild with the syslog USE flag. See this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371357 I attach the patch that updates the ebuild to version 1.0.16 and creates the syslog USE flag. It is my first ebuild, I checked that it works fine, maybe is not very clean about gentoo syntax conventions. Saverio
