From 30be7ceaf228497ac1ff0a1123c1b35e3aa1fc73 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien Cristau Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:39:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] xfree86: set a sane umask before opening the log Xorg creates its log file following the umask of the user running startx, which may result in a world-writable log. Set umask to 022 to prevent this.
