Synopsis: Umask is inherited by Apache & CGIs

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: dgaudet
State-Changed-When: Tue Apr 20 16:28:10 PDT 1999
State-Changed-Why:
I suggest editing your apachectl script to change the umask.
There is no one setting which we could default to which makes
sense for all systems.  For some, 022 is right, for others
002 is right.  If you've got admins using different umasks 
I think you've got other problems... what happens if they
create files as root?
