Problem with logging (i think) about maltrail HOT 4 CLOSED

1. That ValueError is patched now. I hasn't caused problems (shown only on SHOW_DEBUG)
2. To begin, in documentation, you don't use sudo to start the webserv daemon, and i got a perm error to read logs. It could be awesome to dos something who will work at the begin without needs of chown or chmod. - if you start sensor first (which requires sudo privileges) it should put all necessary permissions so the server could read logs without any problems. I have thought about this before and this should be implemented.

But.. If you say that you have perm error to read logs can you please give some more details. Has there been any error message?

It seems to appears only with the current day logs (started without sudo) :

[i] using configuration file '/home/admin/maltrail/maltrail.conf'
[i] running UDP server at '0.0.0.0:8337'
[i] starting HTTP server at 'http://0.0.0.0:8338/'
[o] running...

@o-be-one you are right. There was a bug in case of non-sudo usage of server.py if UDP_SERVER is set up. Now you are being warned in such cases to run it in sudo environment
