Dear list members.

I just wanted to say hi to all of you. My name is Gabriel, and I have  
just been setting up a FreeBSD server at work, having moved from Linux.

There are just a couple of things that aren't working quite as I  
would like, and I was hoping someone might be kind enough to help me  
out. I've been using the FreeBSD handbook, and I must say it is quite  
superb, and makes starting with FreeBSD much easier.

Using sysinstall I enabled anonymous FTP, with uploads allowed in the  
folder /incoming. Uploading works a treat, however the files don't  
have permissions to be downloaded again (by anon user). I know I  
could change this by executing a cron job every two minutes that  
would chmod the files in /incoming. But surely there must be a far  
better way...? The FreeBSD handbook says it doesn't recommend  
allowing anon users to d/load files uploaded anonymously, however I  
would still like to implement this.

I'd be very appreciative for any help.

Best regards

Gabriel Dragffy
