SMF wants users to chmod 777 /smf
one of my accounts was having issues installing mods for SMF (which i generally regard is good forum software)...They were directed to a post by SMF's lead developer stating that everyone needs to chmod -R 777 /smf
This is a large audience and I think the WHT community should respond to this blatant disregard for security procedures. I have posted my response but here is a link to the forum topic, you can read for yourself...
