   After having studied how things look on Slackware 15.0 I kind of start to   
   reconsider this to be a bit buggy in Slackware.   
      
   On one hand, since 15.0 /var/run has become a symbolic link to /run which   
   is mounted as tmpfs by /etc/rc.d/rc.S   
      
   On the other hand, the glibc-2.33 package contains the directory   
   /var/run/nscd which for obvious reason will be lost after the reboot at   
   the end of the installation phase.   
      
   It seems to also be other packages trying to create things below (/var)/   
   run, like stunnel, samba, rpcbind, pam, mariadb, krb5, etc, dbus, cups. I   
   don't claim that all of these packages are broken like nscd, but I they   
   have been fixed to create anything needed below /run there should be no   
   need to have the installer install anything there.   
      
   regards Henrik
