Hi there,

We have set up a few security measures in our company, one being that
in /etc/default/ftpd the umask is set to 077, that allows users to
dump files that will have the permissions of rw for the user.

Now only some of the users wants the ftp permissions of -rw-rw----
also. I don't want to go change the control that we set in place. I
have had a few thoughts, maybe I should run a cron job that will
change the file permissions at a specific time. Or use something like
denotify (from Linux) that will change the file permissions once the
file gets dumped there.

You see these ftp users has noshell, and I cannot set anything in
their .profile. as there is no .profile for them.

Is there a less messy way to do this?

Regards
Mike
