Trying to setup a Mandrake 8.1 FTP Server & disconnect problems

[Denda]

Hi all -
I am setting up a FTP server on Mandrake. I need a few tips though...

I'm using ProFTPD as my FTP application, I need to know how to set up the umask correctly. This is what I am wanting to do..

user1 & user2 have ftp permissions. They can successfully ftp into the server & deposit the files they have.

I need to have a useradmin be able to telnet (ssh, of course) into the server & manipulate the data that was deposited by user1 & user2. The problem is useradmin can not modify any of the data without logging in as user1 or user2. Useradmin is within the same group as user1 & user2, but when the file is ftp'd it creates it as owned by user1 & the group is user1. Very goofy.

I have tried setting the umask within proftpd.conf & it isn't working. I don't see a .profile being created in each of the users home directories, I have corrected this problem before within there.

Any suggestions?

Also, how can I stop the server from disconnecting a telnet session after it has been inactive for 15 minutes?

Thanks for your help
