FTP server -u

robert sears_1 — Thu, 07 Sep 2000 13:25:48 GMT

in my inetd.conf there is a FTP line that reads
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -1

I added the -u statement at the end of this line, and in an entire diffrenet line likeftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -u

When I do this I get an FTP error while trying to FTP into my server. What is the correct entry for a -u (umansk)

Put the full umask on the -u, eg;

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -u 002

Note that the first argument to ftpd is a lowercase 'ell' not a numeric 1 as you posted in your question.
