It took them several years to get the logging part integrated, and they probably have seen the sftplogging patch, did know that there is that chmod/chown/umask functionality, and they haven't integrated that for some (to me, unimaginable) reason. What do you think how long it would take for me or anybody else to convince them to integrate that as well? I'm running an sftp fileserver which can only be secured by using that functionality so I could not upgrade the OpenSSH on that server for about a year now since the sftplogging patch has been removed from the ebuild. Do you really think that we, who are using that functionality, want to wait some more years for the OpenSSH people to integrate the another half of the functionality of that patch? Shouldn't it be done so that you don't just ditch a function set that is heavily used and depended on by several people until the upstream folks don't fully integrate it? I really don't understand the way you're thinking. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm stupid, please enlighten me! Thanks, Sab -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
