prefixes.yml

[mahtin]

If prefixes is read only or created and owned by a different owner; then this error is thrown:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open 'prefixes.yml'

This is because the file can be written back under some conditions. See https://github.com/nttgin/BGPalerter/blob/master/inputs/inputYml.js#L58

Thanks for reporting this. It is indeed an error, especially because that condition can be reached also if the file is malformed (and not only when missing).
