daemon(1) writes PID files as 0600

Hey folks,

Lots of startup scripts write PID files as 644 or 755, but for whatever reason, the PID files created by daemon(1) 

The source code (/usr/src/usr.sbin/daemon.c) seems to call pidfile_write, but doesn't supply any mask info that I can see.

Is there a way to override this?  We'd like service(1) to be able to run status commands as a nonroot user.
