Good day All,

In the midtier installation manual, for Apache servers, it states:

 *To minimize security exposure, include umask 077 in the web server start
sequence.
Using umask 077 makes sure that files created by the web server processes
will be owned and only usable by the user who runs that web server.*
**
I can find reference to umask in the .profile but I'm not sure how to use it
in the startup.

Any unix gurus care to chime in?
