dear aix gurus
a ftp user has to upload text-files to my aix 5.2 box in a certain
directory. specally for this user i start a second ftpd-instance in the
inetd.conf:

ftpdp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -u 000

ftpdp listens on a special port (5020/5021). for some reason i'd like to
have all uploaded text-files with a '777' permission. even i start the ftpd
with '-u 000' the uploaded file alway have a '666' permission. what do i
have to do, to have autmatically '777' for all uploaded files from this user
??

thanx alot
bert

You can't create a file with 777 permissions. The best you can have
is 666. Unless you need to execute the program right away, 666 should
be sufficient. You can set upa cron job to run every minute and
change permissions in a directory, or set up an event in Unicenter or
Tivoli.
