Comment (by nickm):
Yeah, those capabilities should not be given to Tor. Tor shouldn't really
need anything besides CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE.
I think that it's probably okay to allow gid == 0 as an exception for when
group readable is okay? Not 100% sure there, for all I know there's some
horrible unix where gid 0 is unprivileged. (Is that possible?)
I'm not too thrilled with changing the default permissions, though: those
are locked down for a pretty solid reason. If we'd like to override
that, I'd prefer to have it be based on an option than having it be
always-750.
