To: bugs@MIT.EDU
Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 16:28:49 -0400
From: Angie Kelic <sly@MIT.EDU>

System name:		pitfall.mit.edu
Type and version:	Linux 9.0.13
Display type:		tcx

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		fvwm2

What were you trying to do?
Have kerberized ftpd set umask

What's wrong:
ftpd -u 0727 leaves files with the permissions of
-rw-rw-rw-    1 ftp      ftpadmin     1986 Aug  1 15:45 test3


What should have happened:
Turns out that it parses -u incorrectly if there's a space,
such that ftpd -u0727 does what I intended and leaves files
with the permissions of:
----r-----    1 ftp      ftpadmin     1191 Aug  1 15:52 test5


Please describe any relevant documentation references:
This is inconsistent with the documentation and also with
other options.
