Hello,

When creating a hidden Service version 3, I noticed the public and private key files have a chmod 700 when hostname is 600.

For hostname I understand; but why execution is set for keys? I tried to chmod 600 for key files and it also worked.

Hm, is that the case?

I made a simple HSv3 config file, started it up and here is how the files look like:

$ ls -l total 16 drwx------ 2 user user 4096 Nov 6 12:48 authorized_clients -rw------- 1 user user 63 Nov 6 12:48 hostname -rw------- 1 user user 64 Nov 6 12:48 hs_ed25519_public_key -rw------- 1 user user 96 Nov 6 12:48 hs_ed25519_secret_key

Am I doing something wrong?
