Description

Maintainer: @\tohojo (find it by checking history of the package Makefile)
Environment: All

Description:

It is very obvious, when ACME renewed certificate, the private key was set world readable, best to put some permission setting there to make it only world-readable.

It shouldn’t break uhttpd anyway because it is running as root.
