-
- I don't know about Ultrix or SunOS, but on our Silicon Graphics running IRIX,
- ftpd has a "-u" switch for specifying the default umask for files. It defaults
- to 022 (group and worls-readable), but it can be changed in the
- /usr/etc/inetd.conf entry for ftpd.
-
- You may also want to check out the ftpd program available from
- wuarchive.wustl.edu. I haven't used it myself but I hear it has a lot of
- whiz-bang features.
