Subject: Default Permissions.

I have installed WU-ftpd 2.4 on my system (A SPARC running Solaris 2.4)

Problem is, whenever a user uploads a file to his/her account, it sets 
permissions on the file or directory to 775.  Is there anyway i can change 
this?

It's a BIG security hole on my system, since anyone can edit anyone elses home 
pages.

Please give me any suggestions.

Thanks,

Rob Edwards

Interesting that the -u switch is not in the man page for ftpd.
I had to check the source to verify that I had the option.

i tried this and it didnt seem to work, i added the options to the end of 
ftpd in my inetd.conf and then uploaded a file, it came out with w 
permissions only?

im running solaris2.5 on x86

i would basically like all files uploaded to a users directory to be 
uog+rx .. im still pulling my hair trying to figure this out

any help appreciated
