[sork] Problem with sork and smrsh

[Craig Richardson]

Ok, I've tried this and got it to work but had to modify the patch slightly

I have changed the code from line 120 on to be the following, the only
important difference is the string sent to ftp_site().

if (!(@ftp_site($ftpConnection, "chmod 0600 $dst"))) {
            $this->err_str = _("Could not set forwarding!");
            @ftp_quit($ftpConnection);
        }
        @ftp_quit($ftpConnection);
        return true;
}

My problem in the end was that our wu-ftp server implements a default umask
(defumask 0002) in the /etc/ftpaccess file.  This was a fix so people
sharing files in directories with sticky bits set gave write permission to
the group as well as themselves when creating new directories.

Thanks heaps for your help everybody.
