openssh unix dev - Nov 2010 - Explicit file permissions for sftp-server

Hello again,

Even with umask working (thanks very much!) I have found that I require
more control over file permissions with sftp-server/internal-sftp.

Please see the attached patch.  It adds yet another option to
sftp-server (-m) that will force file permissions.

I have a been running a patched version of 5.6p1 under RHEL4 in
production with no problems.  Please consider including this change or
something similar in the next release.

Please note that the attached patch is a diff from cvs version 1.92 of
sftp-server.c

Best regards and thanks again,

Rob Candland

Recommend filing patch in OpenSSH Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/ 
) so it doesn't get lost.
