Not any more.  For a while, the /etc/tofmipd file had to be present,
even if it was of size 0.  That was a bug and has been fixed.

That's an application-specific thing.  The application has to create
the .pid file on its own.  A quick run of strings on sshd, for
example, shows that /var/run/sshd.pid is hard-coded into the
executable.  tmda-ofmipd doesn't create a .pid file.  It seems like
something we could easily add.  I don't know if the location is the
same on all Unices, so I'd have to explore how we could discover the
correct directory.
