Hi Steve, I would suggest to place this line in envvars. This is called through the apachectl script. Kind Regards Conny

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?
