Package: apache-perl Version: 1.3.33-2 Severity: normal This is probably related to #167966 (archived)
In my experience apache-perl inherits its umask from process, invoking /etc/init.d/apache-perl Our web application creates session files. Our nightly maintenance cronjobs use /etc/init.d/apache-perl to stop/start apache. Also, the cronjobs sets umask 0227 (having in mind permissions of archived files). In the morning, the session files created are with access rights r--r-----, which effectifely disables any writing to them. In #167966 I see a reference to /etc/init.d/rcS, which indeed sets umask 0022. However, /etc/init.d/apache-perl never sources /etc/init.d/rcS. Maybe /etc/init.d/apache-perl should a) source /etc/init.d/rcS, or b) set a saner umask itself, or c) document the issue in README.Debian.
