All files in /var/run/sks are owned by debian-sks:

> srwxr-xr-x  1 debian-sks debian-sks    0 2009-03-14 06:51 db_com_sock
> srwxr-xr-x  1 debian-sks debian-sks    0 2009-03-14 06:52 recon_com_sock
> -rw-r--r--  1 debian-sks debian-sks    6 2009-03-14 03:30 sksdb.pid
> -rw-r--r--  1 debian-sks debian-sks    6 2009-03-14 03:30 sksrecon.pid

error:

> Fatal error: exception Bdb.DBError("unable to join the environment")
