1.93 SOL-11.1-040260

Information

The default umask for FTP users must be 077.

GROUP ID: V-216107RULE ID: SV-216107r959010

Setting a very secure default value for umask ensures that users make a conscious choice about their file permissions.

Solution

The root role is required.

pkg list service/network/ftp

If the output of this command is:

pkg list: no packages matching 'service/network/ftp' installed

no further action is required. Otherwise, edit the FTP configuration file.

pfedit /etc/proftpd.conf

Locate the line containing:

Umask

Change the line to read:

Umask 077
