I think theres an un-documented command line switch for this, try:
	ftpd -u 022 [<other_options>] in inetd.conf

It would be nice if the ftpaccess config supported (somehow) setting
up umasks based on groups, especially considering any guestgroups.

Actually, it does with the "upload" directive, ie:

upload  /rootdir      /dir1   yes     someowner    somegroup  0775 dirs
upload  /rootdir      /dir2   yes     someowner    somegroup  0664 dirs

The above will set the owner, group, and permissions. The last entry
can also be "nodirs" indicating if the user can create subdirectories
or not...

Or are you looking for something else?

...dlc...

PS has anyone set up guestgroups under BSDI 2.0.x using wu-ftpd v2.4.x??
If so, please send email -- I beginning to think I have found a but with
BSDI...
