 After much frustration, I decided to simply add a umask(000) to the beginning of main() in order to alleviate troubles I've been having with the perm() and dir_perm() configuration directives. One thing, though, that I think is needed in the config that doesn't currently exist is dir_user() and dir_group() directives to control the ownership of created directories. Would anyone else find this useful? Chris Sibbitt JetNet Internetworking Services Inc.
