Re: [cobalt-users] [Raq3] File permissions- rejected from admin - MORE

["Lennie Core" <lcore@xxxxxxxx>]

The Fix for this as published by Jonathan has been implemented on
my RAQ3 and works fine.  You only need add the following line to:
etc/proftpd.conf

<Global>
        AllowChmod              on
</Global>

See my sniplet below.

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to 
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use.  It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login.  It assumes that you have a 
user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

ServerName			"ProFTPD"
ServerType			inetd
DeferWelcome			off
DefaultServer			on
DefaultRoot			/ admin
DefaultRoot			~/../.. site-adm
DefaultRoot			~ !site-adm

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port				21
# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and 
files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask				002

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User				nobody
Group				nobody

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory />
  AllowOverwrite		on
</Directory>

<Global>
        AllowChmod              on
</Global>

# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories.

My 10cents, Lennie Core

	There are only 24 virtuals setup on the server. Therefore, I 
would find it difficult or impossible to believe that there could be 
more than 32 groups.

	Moreover, this was working last week ("admin" ability to set 
permissions on files) and no new accounts/domains have been setup.

	Yes, Gerald, "root" can make changes ("su -") via Telnet, but 
this should be unnecessary. "Admin" SHOULD be able to do this also. 
What's up??       : (
