Title. Long,short story: creating or editing files with nano as my non-root user gives (the file) elevated privileges, like I have ran it w/ sudo or as root. And the (only) “security hole” that I can think of is a nextdns docker container running as root. That aside, its very “overkill” security-wise (cap_drop=ALL, non-root image, security_opt=no_new_privileges, etc.).

It’s like someone tried to hack me but gave up halfway. Am I right or wrong to assume this? Just curious.

Thanks in advance.

    i.e file is created (as non-root), trying to remove the file (once again, as non-root) gives me a “rm: cannot remove 'dir/file.name': Permission denied” error message.

      What are the permissions on the directory? What is command are you running to edit the file? What command are you running to delete it? (Have you got selinux turned on? What filesystem is this directory on?)
