OK to set /var/run/opendkim to group accessible and executable?

List seems quiet lately...

I posted this a while back:

http://lists.opendkim.org/archive/opendkim/dev/2015/03/2039.html

But didn't get any response. To recap, someone is suggesting that the
/var/run/opendkim directory (which holds the opendkim.pid file) be 775
instead of 755.

Apparently this helps with configs where the MTA user (sendmail,postfix,
etc.) is in the opendkim group.

Can anyone see any security or performance issue with allowing
/var/run/opendkim to be 775 instead of 755?

If not, I may as well change that in the package to allow for those types
of configs.

Thanks,
