#72417: dbus: permissions of dbus-daemon-launch-helper correct?
-------------------------+--------------------

Component:  ports        |    Version:
 Keywords:               |       Port:  dbus
-------------------------+--------------------
 When dbus installs this file, it ends up being owned by the dbus user and
 the filemode is 750, meaning it's impossible to even read this file
 without sudo.

 Is this intentional?

 I realized it accidentally doing some work with Macports on Github
 actions, because trying to cache the macports prefix will fail if dbus is
 installed, as tar will abort due not being able to access this file.

 I understand generally one wants to be very cautious with launch helpers,
 but is there a reason why this couldn't be, say, 754?
