asterisk users - Dec 2014 - On Fedora, kernel update resets /var/run/asterisk owner to root.root

On Fedora 20, every time the kernel updates, /var/run/asterisk owner is 
set to root.root.  I'm running asterisk under user asterisk.

Is there any way to keep /var/run/asterisk as asterisk.asterisk. Or do I 
find a new place to put asterisk.pid?

Are you using the Fedora RPMs or are you compiling it yourself?  If
you're compiling it yourself, you'll need to create a file called
/etc/tmpfiles.d/asterisk.conf with this content:

d /run/asterisk 0755 asterisk asterisk

On Fedora /var/run is a symlink to /run, and /run is a tmpfs
partition, which means it gets wiped out every time you reboot.
systemd-tmpfiles uses the files in /etc/tmpfiles.d and
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d to recreate files/directories at boot time.

Also, if you use the native systemd unit file, you no longer need a
PID file, although you still need /run/asterisk to store the control
socket.

So systemd is taking over the galaxy.

Put asterisk.conf in /etc/tmpfiles.d, and all worked. It needs to be 
included in the rpm.

I still need ctl so I can access * remotely.

Thanks for the help.
