- PC/TCP, permissions.
-
- I use SunOS and Ultrix operating systems on file servers
- and PC/TCP v. 2.1 from FTP software on PCs.
-
- In order to create virtual disk drives I use the idrive
- resident program. The PCTCP.INI file contains setup
- for idrive. My idrive setup section looks like this:
-
- [pctcp idrive hsp]
- host=myhost
- path=/aud/dahsp
- drive=m:
- sec_key=pcnfs
- sec_arg=hsp
- umask=750
-
- When I create a new file on a virtual drive, the file has
- permissions according to umask ( -rwxr-x---). But when
- I create a directory, it has write and execute permissions
- for all ( drwxrwxrwx )! Why? This is very dangerous for
- users not concerned with security. They have to change the
- permissions manually with the "idchmod" command.
-
- The problem existed in v. 2.05, and I still have the problem
- with v. 2.1. Is this a well known bug in idrive?
-
- Thanks for any help.
