Subject: wu-ftpd: please reinstate SITE CHMOD

Date: Thu, 09 Jun 2005 16:29:30 -0500

Package: wu-ftpd
Version: 2.6.2-20
Severity: normal

When -DPARANOID was added to the configuration, SITE CHMOD and SITE UMASK
were killed. The only way this can be justified is if there is supposed to be
a single "correct" umask that results in the correct permissions on all files
uploaded by all users; or alternately that the users don't mind bouncing back
and forth between an FTP client for uploading and a login shell for chmod'ing.

Those are tough conditions to meet. Can we have SITE CHMOD back, please?

severity #312728 important
quit

I have a system that allows users access by ftp only (from a local  
network); disabling chmod has made it impossible for some of my users  
to maintain their websites now, and without any warning.

Wouldn't it have been better to edit the configuration file to  
disable chmod if you really felt this was necessary, allowing people  
to turn it back on again if they want? Disabling it in the binary is  
unhelpful, to say the least.
