Sam Saffron <[email protected]> has granted Usability: Bug 412742: $pipe for mkfifo has no write permission https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D412742 --- Description --- When attaching to an existing process as `root` the mkfifo permission for t= he non `root` process being monitored can not be written to due to a permission error.=20 The easy thing I do in production is add `chmod a+w $pipe` just after the mkfifo, but this is messy.=20 Instead perhaps we can inspect the owner of the process we are attaching to= and maybe error out if we know we can not create that and add something like heaptrack -p PID --insecure-pipe , to workaround?
