Hi,

I am a "rookie" HP-UNIX  Sys Adminstrator.

I want FTP to be default at -rwxrwxrwx for all files.  I don't want the
system default like -rw-rw-rw- or whatever.

I tried "umask" in the profile file (setting umask to 0) and I got the
system default mode like -rw-rw-rw-.  I tried the ftpd command in the
"inetd.conf" configuration file and I still got the system default.  How can
I "bypass" this system default ?  What does the system default come from ?
I really hope it's possible.

Let you know that I am not interested in "anonymous" FTP.

Any recommedation or suggestion ?

Thank you,
John

        Well, you could get the source for wu-ftpd and change it, but there
are no commands to do that sort of thing automatically, at least not in
most systems.
Another possiblity would be to run some sort of script with cron, if
only
a single directory is involved.

Speaking only for myself,

Try editing your /etc/default/ftpd file (you may have to create it).  Mine
looks like this:
# cat ftpd
UMASK=027

BUT, even if you simply touch a file with umask 0, you will still get rw-rw-rw
because its not an exectuable.

        You just can't do what the OP wants with umask.  I have heard
that wu-ftpd could be tweaked to do this sort of thing, bu tI've never
tried it.  Besides, why do you want to do this?  It would seem safer to
teach the user how to use chmod to get executable files.
