Yep, of course I meant the openssh package ChangeLog in portage |
| 9 |
which IMHO should contain a word about why a USE flag has been |
| 10 |
removed. |

Hmm... do I understand correctly that the sftplogging patch has not |
| 24 |
been integrated but only a part of it's functions has been implemented |
| 25 |
in a different way than it is in the patch? |
| 26 |
|

Well, the syslog logging is useful but those settings about umask and |
| 28 |
chmod/chgrp are essential in managing an sftp-based file repository with |
| 29 |
multiuser access which is a great alternative to cleartext FTP access. |
| 30 |
Using the settings the sftplogging patch provides I can set up an sftp |
| 31 |
server in a usable and secure way which would otherwise be impossible. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
So here is a big PLEASE to keep/put back the sftplogging patch and |
| 34 |
the use flag in the openssh ebuild! |
| 35 |

Thanks! |
