Also looking good, and again if you'd prefer I just make my suggested
changes myself when I apply it that's fine by me.

This is a statement of the license and is covered by the
SPDX-License-Identifier metadata.  SPDX-FileCopyrightText is for
identifying copyright owners.  For a project that doesn't provide a
copyright notice, we'd typically attribute copyright to e.g. "The

In this case though, I don't think there's anything copyrightable here,
so CC0-1.0 and your name should be fine.

stdin will always be /dev/null, so instead of this dance you can just
redirfd -r 0 /dev/null after the background.

What's the point in continuing to umask when you explicitly provide the mode?

Again, I'd much rather this was taken care of in net-add.  I'll post a
patch to make it re-entrant, I guess.
