Message-ID: <21688@apple.Apple.COM> Date: 5 Dec 88 18:21:20 GMT References: <18505@shemp.CS.UCLA.EDU> Distribution: na Organization: Apple Computer Inc, Cupertino, CA Lines: 12 There is a problem in A/UX 1.0 where ftp is suid root. Yes I know this is a major security hole. I would suggest that everyone running A/UX 1.0 check their ftp permissions and change them to 755 instead of 4755. This will correct your problem with files being owned by root after you ftp them and will also correct a security hole present in 1.0.
