(was: 3.2.x)
> DbmSession creates world readable db file
> -----------------------------------------

> Key: MODPYTHON-173
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-173
> Project: mod_python
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: session
> Affects Versions: 3.2.8
> Reporter: Jim Gallacher
> Assigned To: Jim Gallacher
> Fix For: 3.3, 3.2.10
>
>
> DbmSession uses the default mode when creating the db file. As a result the
> file is world readable, which may be undesirable where sensitive informaiton
> is stored in the session. Currently the users are required to chmod the file
> manually. This can be fixed by using the option mode argument when the file
> is opened.
> Quoting from the python anydbm documentation:
> open( filename[, flag[, mode]]
> The optional mode argument is the Unix mode of the file, used only when the
> database has to be created. It defaults to octal 0666 (and will be modified
> by the prevailing umask).
