Hello.  I'm having great difficulty with using wu-ftp as presented in it's
accompanying documentation.  The problem is that the upload directive in
the ftpaccess file can allow or disallow (sub)directory creation if the
"dirs" or "nodirs" commands are pressent, but when it's allowed, the
directories that are created are not of the form <user> <group> <mode> as
is listed in the rest of the upload directive.  I know that the daemon is
processing the directive, because files that are uploaded are set
correctly.  It's just the directories that are misbehaving.

I tried setting the umask (-u) option on the command line in inetd.conf,
and can get it to create the directories with the proper permissions, but
the <owner> <group> id's are not set correctly.

Please help.

-John
