Try to put the public read permission back to /pub/Linux, /pub, and
/pub/Linux/Incoming.

Hello

I have just installed 2.4(1) and it works OK but I see mention of
patched versions.  These patches don't seem to be available on
wuarchive.wustl.edu.  Are the patches, then, official ?  Are they
needed for reasons of security or facility and, if yes, where do
I get them ?

Thanks

I did a "chmod +r" on ~ftp/pub/Linux/Incoming to re-establish read
permissions on the incoming dir (all other dirs have read permission) and
I still get files owned by ftp:ftp . I even tried to have the files owned
by root:daemon (who is in ~ftp/etc/passwd and ~ftp/etc/group) by specifing
it in the "upload" line in ftpaccess because i thought it could be a
shadow password problem but it did not work. I have tried everything I 
could think of. Is there anyone else using Solaris 2.4 + wu-ftpd and who 
has an "incoming" dir with the ability to change the owner of uploaded 
files w/o problems? Thanks a lot for reading this.. :)

I run Solaris 2.4 + wu-ftpd(2.4.2b5) and it works perfectly.

The following "motd" was uploaded anonymously:

lorien{83}>  [incoming] ls -lg
-rw-r-----  1 root     users         491 Oct 12 13:39 motd

lorien{85}>  [etc] grep upload ftpaccess
# specify the upload directory information
upload  /usr/spool/ftp  *                       no
upload  /usr/spool/ftp  /pub/incoming           yes root   users   0640 nodirs

lorien{88}>  [incoming] /bin/ls -ld
drwxrwx-wx   2 root     users        512 Oct 12 13:39 .
