To: security@freebsd.org Cc: phk@freebsd.org Subject: ftpd's read-only mode From: Dag-Erling Smorgrav Date: 19 Feb 2001 21:27:29 +0100 Message-ID: Lines: 10 User-Agent: Gnus/5.0802 (Gnus v5.8.2) Emacs/20.4 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org A while ago, Poul-Henning implemented a read-only option in ftpd that makes the server refuse any command that would write, remove or modify a file or directory. Currently, the server will send a 202 reply with the reason "Command ignored. Server is in readonly mode.", but I think that a "550 Permission denied" would be much more appropriate. Does anybody object to this change? DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
