It creates the file with (right from the source):
open (file, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_NONBLOCK | O_NOCTTY,
S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IWGRP | S_IROTH | S_IWOTH);
which is mode 0666. I think that Allegro should do the same. Or, if we
want to be paranoid, it can test for geteuid() != 0 and otherwise use
0600.
Have a nice day.
