It inherits it from inetd which inherits it from /etc/rc which inherits it from init. Of course, you should be able to modify inetd's umask when starting it in /etc/rc. However, be aware of possible side-effects on other inetd-launched servers. The shipped ftpd understands the `site umask' command, should that be of any help for you. Your best bet might be to use wuftpd (it's in the ports), since you can adjust the effective umask there from the config file. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
