I ran the daemon under strace and saw no mention of a pidfile. Also, if it's
going to use arbitrary interface names in the file, this makes it slightly
less predicatable for the purposes of an init script. The 2.0.6 init script
we were using in Debian explicitly named the PID file with the -n option
that no longer exists.

I don't understand this statement.

Well at the moment, I don't have a good foundation for a reliable init
script, unless I'm missing something obvious.
