There we go:

class ACLPolicyDaemonService(service.Service):
    def __init__(self):
        self.factory = ACLPolicyDaemonFactory()

    def startService(self):
        self.factory.configure()
        service.Service.startService(self)

I borrowed the code and ideas from the tutorial[1] and it is working
fine, I call my configure() method inside the service, and the file is
created as nobody as needed. Thank you very much for the help.
