Rich Touton has kindly provided me with a binary plist file that
hasn't been changed. But this is totally unacceptable. We handle
somewheres on the range of 50-100Gb of compressed data every day.
This update totally broke my ftp services and I have had to develop
one kludge after another to try to keep our services going.
It is not that Apple made a mistake - that happens - it is the total
silence from anyone at Apple about this and the zero lack of response
from Apple. If you expect people to run operational shops using your
hardware/software - you had better do a better job than this.
There is no excuse for this - it is just plain sloppy on many fronts
and has harmed are operations.

It looks like Macintouch has the explanation for this in its
latest reader reports: http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/
security/index.html#apr25
See Guillaume Gete's entry.
Thanks,
Rich

The security update has broken most of my ftp services. A system
that was working fine is now broken. It does not automatically
recognize where the new FTPRoot is, anonymous can nor download from
directories where they use to be able to (permission denied) and
when I change settings using the GUI, no new settings occur.
Something has been severely broken in this change. Can someone
knowledgeable from Apple please give me a call. We provide data
to a
lot of people and this has broken ftp on 3 different servers with 3
different configurations.
Thanks,
