Subject: guestgroups, mkdir and upload permissions

Greetings, all.

I have successfully set up guest groups (barring two bugs that I can
live with for now :-) but have run across a minor stumbling block. I
have ftpaccess set up like this:

# specify the upload directory information
upload  /toplevel      *            no
upload  /toplevel      /dir1/*      yes     owner    group  0775 dirs
upload  /toplevel      /dir2/*      yes     owner    group  0664 dirs

Everything works as expected EXCEPT that directories created with mkdir
have 755 permision and are owned by the "user" and not by "owner". I
would really prefer that directories be owned by "owner" and created with
group write permission...

This is happening under bsdi 2.0.x -- any takers?

Cheers,
...dlc...

> group write permission...

Looks like directories are not set to the uid/gid given above -- they are 
simply created and left unchanged.  The above seems to be only for 
files.  Sounds like hack time, to me.
