Subject: specifying file creation permissions

I'm running wu-2.4(1) on a SUN platform. I'm having problems getting
the file permissions, as specified in ftpaccess to take effect. 
They seemed to have worked for awhile, then stopped. 

I'm trying to get file permissions of 644 and always seem to end
up with 664 now.

Is there a newer (beta) version of wu-ftpd avialable beyond 2.4?

Thanks!

Check the value of CMASK in ~src/ftpd.c.  Is it set to 002 by chance?

For the latest beta version:

ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-5.tar.Z

This directory may not show you its contents, but just get the file 
anyway.

Yes, it is.

It's still that way in this version. I suggest this be changed, as it is a
"misfeature" :-) IMHO.
