that's fine but here

$ ls -ld /var/run
drwxr-xr-x. 26 root root 4096 Apr  4 04:29 /var/run

/var/run is not mode 777. So what's "poorly-written" about those 
programs is they're not running as root: back when they were they 
wouldn't've had a problem creating files in /var/run. Now that 
everything and their pet has its own uid the standard unix permission 
bits are "poorly written".

And you need to make sure cluster processes get the same uid on all 
nodes. Without using a directory service.
