Yep, of course I meant the openssh package ChangeLog in portage which IMHO should contain a word about why a USE flag has been removed. > > To me this doesn't look like as if it would have been integrated... > > The sftp-server(8) binary has new command line options that influence > SFTP logging: > > -f log_facility > -l log_level > > The sftplogging also contains functionality to control umask and permit > chmod and chgrp, which the upstream sftp-server does not provide. Hmm... do I understand correctly that the sftplogging patch has not been integrated but only a part of it's functions has been implemented in a different way than it is in the patch? Well, the syslog logging is useful but those settings about umask and chmod/chgrp are essential in managing an sftp-based file repository with multiuser access which is a great alternative to cleartext FTP access. Using the settings the sftplogging patch provides I can set up an sftp server in a usable and secure way which would otherwise be impossible. So here is a big PLEASE to keep/put back the sftplogging patch and the use flag in the openssh ebuild! Thanks! Best regards, Sab -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
