OpenBSD Ftp permissions problems - help!!

Hello,

Ok I have a couple of little problems that I can't for the life of me work out how to solve. I wasn't involved in setting the server up, I've just "inherited" the support for it. I've done my best to be a good little newbie, researched articles, tried things out and managed to only get so far...

OpenBSD is running Apache and the public_html are in UserA's home folder. UserB wanted to be able to upload docs into public_html too so I managed to setup a group called webuser, put them both in it and managed to make it so that it was the default group in the public_html folder for any uploaded files.

First of all, whenever any user ftp's up a new file, it automatically gives it the permissions 640. This means that people in the group can't edit the file which is what I want them to do! I've tried setting all the folders using CHMOD and trying to use UMASK and things but it doesn't work. I looked at changing the ftp config, but I don't have a login.conf in the /etc so not sure if I should create one. I am also not sure if I should try and run ftpd with the -mask switch or something.

Also, when a user uploads a file, they are the only user that can change the permissions, even when the group is set correctly and the permissions set to 775. Shouldn't anyone in the group be able to change the permissions? Is it possible to set that for just the one folder?

Can anyone offer any helpful pointers, advice, links or anything that might help??

Thanks!

FTP loses write permissions

Hi Guys, i have learned today that when you ftp a file with full write permissions (777) to another destination it loses the w options. so a file that was once -rwxrwxrwx(before FTP) is now -rw-r--r-- (after FTP). why does this happen? and is it configurable? Regards,

cgconfigparser

CGCONFIGPARSER(8)						 libcgroup Manual						 CGCONFIGPARSER(8)

NAME

       cgconfigparser - setup control group file system

SYNOPSIS

       cgconfigparser [-h] [-l <filename>] [-L <directory>] [...]

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Displays help.

       -l, --load=FILE
	      Parses  the  control  groups  configuration  file Sets up the control group file system defined by the configuration file and mounts
	      mount points defined by the configuration file.  The format of the file is described in cgconfig.conf. This option can be used  mul-
	      tiple times and can be mixed with -L option.

       -L, --load-directory=DIR
	      Finds  all  files in given directory and parses them in alphabetical order like they were specified by -l option. This option can be
	      used multiple times and can be mixed with -l option.

       -a <agid>:<auid>
	      defines the default owner of the rest of the defined control group's files. These users are allowed to set subsystem parameters  and
	      create subgroups.  The default value is the same as has the parent cgroup.

       -d, --dperm=mode
	      sets the default permissions of a control groups directory.  The permissions needs to be specified as octal numbers e.g.	-d 775.

       -f, --fperm=mode
	      sets  the default permissions of the control group files.  The permissions needs to be specified as octal numbers e.g.  -f 775.  The
	      value is not used as given because the current owner's permissions are used as an umask (so 777 will set group  and  others  permis-
	      sions to the owners permissions).

       -s, --tperm=mode
	      sets the default permissions of the control group tasks files.  The permissions needs to be specified as octal numbers e.g.  -f 775.
	      The value is not used as given because the current owner's permissions are used as an umask (so 777 will set group and  others  per-
	      missions to the owners permissions).

       -t <tuid>:<tgid>
	      defines  the default owner of tasks file of the defined control group. I.e. this user and members of this group have write access to
	      the file.
