fixes moby/moby#40175
When running
docker login
ordocker logout
, the CLI updates the configuration file by creating a temporary file, to replace the old one (if exists).When using
sudo
, this caused the file to be created asroot
, making it inaccessible to the current user.This patch updates the CLI to fetch permissions and ownership of the existing configuration file, and applies those permissions to the new file, so that it has the same permissions as the existing file (if any).
Currently, only done for "Unix-y" systems (Mac, Linux), but can be implemented for Windows in future if there's a need.
