netserver: don't change permissions on /dev/null #27

Open aweits opened 6 years ago

aweits commented 6 years ago

the (now default) suppress_debug=1 changes permissions on /dev/null to 0644. Don't do this.

Randomly ended up here but this is real reason to worry,... so many things would be broken due to this.

marceloleitner commented 5 years ago

I'd say it shouldn't even change the permissions, but just rely on umask instead. Setting 644 is no safe anyway.

This relates to #26
