    When running ktrace as root, the ktrace.out file is created according to
    root's umask. Don't you think it would be better to force that file to
    mode 600?

    As it is today, a negligent system administrator can leave a
    world-readable ktrace.out file in the filesystem, and this file might
    contain sensitive information

    Opinions?
