Oh, and another issue, the pid and lock files are not in the LSB
standard locations:

Pid file: /var/run/
Lock file: /var/lock/subsys/  (this is created by the init script, and
it is doing the right thing here)

Right now the program creates the pid file in /var/lock (or
/var/run/lock, don't know which and they are linked so it shows up both
places), but not in /var/run which is the standard location for pid
files.  The port file can stay where it is.
