changing ftpd filemodes on write

Yesterday I asked:

I received several useful responses:

1. Quick and dirty: (which I did): Create a script that is called

by inetd that replaces in.ftpd and contains the following:

#! /bin/sh

umask 022

exec /usr/etc/in.ftpd $*

Thanks to: csmoko%earth@relay.nswc.navy.mil (who also suggested #3)

magi@csd.uwo.ca (though he suggested using a C program rather than a script)

2. Add "umask 022" at the beginning of each /etc/rc* file. Apparently the

modes in effect for ftpd are those of inetd when it is started in /etc/rc.

3. Get ftpd.wuarchive.tar from ftp.uu.net, /networking/ftp. This adds

capabilities beyond the present Sun ftpd, including the capability to

change modes within an ftp session. However, the standard Sun ftp client

does not understand how to send these commands. If you need it, though,

there's a copy of ftp there, too, which will issue the SITE commands

needed for this capability.
