Hard to say if that would suit the bug reporter. I would think about
#if UNIX
umask(377);
#endif
or something along the line. But that would not help much on a mounted
vfat drive or something. Perhaps ACL are implemented someday and
uses can access that file anyway etc.
IOW: It's not tcpdump's job to enforce the right file permissions
on users files. I will close the bug report.
