Even if 0770 dir, anonymous access can be done if mirror is done with
group which is same as anonymous ftp user. Should we write the rule
for mirror site maintainers about this?

I think we should not hope every mirror maintainer can tweak. CVSup
and rsync can handle permission change effectively.

Hmm, I don't know how BitTrront works and has good performance for us.
It seems we should continue the duscussion about this (and we should
not use it for 5.1-R yet).
Anyways, it is difficult to coordinate with mirror maintainers for new
configuration/installation in few days. If 0770 dir can works, doing
such for few days (for tier-1 mirrors) may work...
