Good day - [please CC me on any responses] I'm busy testing Delegate 5.9.1 for use on our systems as an FTP caching proxy. Something which bothers me is that the cache directories are all creates as mode 0777. An strace reveals e.g. the following: mkdir("/var/spool/delegate/cache/ftp/admin.mailgate.net", 0777) = 0 chmod("/var/spool/delegate/cache/ftp/admin.mailgate.net", 0777) = 0 A quick look at the code suggests that this permission is hardcoded this way. Is there any particular reason why the cache subdirectories are forced to mode 0777? Couldn't one change it to something safer such as 0755 or even 0750? Also, small bug :) : 220- ( - ) { DeleGate/5.9.1 (March 15, 1999) } 220- AIST Research Product No. 1994-ETL-8715-1 220- Copyright (c) 1994-1998 Yutaka Sato 220- Copyright (c) 1994-1998 Electrotechnical Laboratry (ETL), AIST, MITI 220- WWW: http://wall.etl.go.jp/delegate/ On the second-last line, it should be "Laboratory". Thanks for what looks like a very powerful and quite stable product.
