Ok. Well, I don't know of any "standard procedure" to notify the user of a reason for a USE flag removal... :( > > > 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 patch was called "sftplogging". umask+chmod/chgrp has absolutely *nothing* to do with "SFTP logging". I believe this code was misplaced in a patch called "sftplogging". So, I see it in a similar way as vapier does: Get the OpenSSH developers to include such functionality -OR- produce a patch that doesn't touch upstream SFTP logging but just adds umask+chmod/chgrp control features, maybe we can think about adding such a small patch as long as upstream does not provide such features. Just an idea. -- Regards, Wolfram Schlich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux * http://dev.gentoo.org/~wschlich/ -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
