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?
