Ok, thanx.
I've tried -m -p /var/lock/pidfile and strange thing happens - actual 
PID number recoreded in the pidfile doesn't belong to the daemon being 
started. It belongs to the process that already finished. Eg.

# start-stop-daemon --start -m -p /var/lock/crond.pid -x /sbin/crond -- 
-c /etc/crontab/

# ps
...
  4274 root        192 S   /sbin/crond -c /etc/crontab/

# cat /var/lock/crond.pid
4272

Note: I observed that this doesn't happen with dropbear client but with 
busybox applets - crond, httpd, ...

best regards,
hinko
