Subject: [PATCH] pam_faillock: change /run/faillock/$USER permissions to 0660
Nowadays, /run/faillock/$USER files have user:root ownership and 0600
permissions. This forces the process that writes to these files to have
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE capabilites. Just by changing the permissions to 0660
the capability can be removed, which leads to a more secure system.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1661822
