If you really trust your users and their scripts that much, you could run a cronjob setting execute permissions. You could tell the users the new scripts would be automatically security-checked every 5 minutes past the hour... But any user running a real ftp program could just chmod the files themself. chmod 777 file works from the fbsd's ftp.
