Something is deleting /var/run/syslogd.pid

After updating to F22, after the system is up for some period of time, I  
have not determine for how long, looks like something removes  
/var/run/syslogd.pid

Consequently, logrotate eventually rotates /var/log/messages to  
/var/log/messages-yyyymmdd (same for several other /var/log files), but  
can't find syslogd's PID to SIGHUP it, so that syslog can reopen the log  
files.

I vaguely recall seeing some config files that defines expiration/cleanup  
retention period for stuff in /var/run. Anyone recall where that lives?
