Ok. Well, I don't know of any "standard procedure" to notify |
| 14 |
the user of a reason for a USE flag removal... :( |

Yes. |

Well, the patch was called "sftplogging". umask+chmod/chgrp has |
| 43 |
absolutely *nothing* to do with "SFTP logging". |
| 44 |
I believe this code was misplaced in a patch called "sftplogging". |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
So, I see it in a similar way as vapier does: |
| 47 |
Get the OpenSSH developers to include such functionality -OR- |
| 48 |
produce a patch that doesn't touch upstream SFTP logging but |
| 49 |
just adds umask+chmod/chgrp control features, maybe we can |
| 50 |
think about adding such a small patch as long as upstream does |
| 51 |
not provide such features. Just an idea. |
